Gray Clouds Roaming

I hear a rustling in the leaves
 As the wind huffs and heaves
 A storm is coming ever near
 A rustling in the leaves I hear

 Gray clouds roam across the sky
  Some leaves swirl up on high
 Thunder rumbles in the dome
 Across the sky gray clouds roam

 The rain will fall for a while
 And make the land more fertile
 Flowers seem to love it all
 For a while the rain will fall

 A rainbow shows its many hues
 As the sky regains its blues
 A pot of gold are at the end of those
 Its many hues a rainbow shows

Yes, the rain does fall, and the "flowers seem to love it all." Me too. :) There's something so exciting about a thunderstorm, as long as it doesn't cause any damage. I love everything about the rain, especially seeing a rainbow. I wish to place this in my favorites. You have expressed this so beautifully, my dear friend. :) Hugs, Brandy
