On This Night
The silence seems almost against the norm,
for nature is unnaturally still.
The proverbial “calm before the storm”
permeates the air, but some lightening will
appear, and leaves will quiver on the trees.
Stay not outside! The wind is getting strong.
This is not your usual summer breeze.
Get ready, for the onslaught will be long.
The god of sky’s impressionistic art
swipes brush strokes on a canvas painted black,
displaying genius with his mighty heart
as if he were a warrior on attack.
His lightening is the masterpiece we see
on this night filled with electricity.
