Echoes of a Storm

The thunder rolls across the sky, 
right after the flash of light
spreads across the horizon, 
and it echoes…
echoes…
long and rumbling.

Its deep bass crashes
and shakes our very foundation.
The accompanying wind
blows menacingly, 
and the falling rain becomes
a stinging downpour.

The once tiny droplets
now becoming a raging river, 
washing away at the earth,
as it tries to sink into the soil.

But the storm has only just begun,
the flashes streak again, 
and the thunder echoes…
echoes…
long and rumbling.
