Quelled By Nature

listlessly, leaves droop
withering in summer's heat ~
nimbus clouds gather

thunder's mighty roar
commands slate gray skies, "Open" ~
sparrows seek shelter

petals spring to life
quelled by nature's gift of rain ~
sunlight smiles with warmth

Calm after the storm instead of before in this instance. Water,a life giving necessity of life, how desperately have many countries prayed for rain, what a joy when the heavens open wide and 'petals spring to life, quelled by natures gift of rain' very cleverly crafted. well expressed. hugs and blessings, jennifer. Hugs and blessings Jennifer.

Jenna, A fine choice in 'Quelled by Nature'. The name nimbus is among the very favorites of clouds. We get to see them brace in the best of skies. -Richard

Clouds have always intrigued me, Richard. Their constant movement, gathering moisture to water Earth are a necessity for life. Thank you for commenting.
