Nature Blushes


Dark ominous clouds gather in the sky, 
Thunder rumbles loud somewhere far away, 
The earth gets ready, a shower is nigh, 
That drizzle drives her crazy with her spray, 
As water and wind in the wet woods play, 
Trees sway and dance when the gust gathers speed, 
A burning is quenched as rain meets land's greed, 
There's steady downpour while lightning flashes, 
A yearning fulfilled as petrichor's freed, 
Nature blushes under dripping lashes.
