Rainfall

Rainfall 

Far off in the distance, you see storm clouds
Sky begins to darken, everything it enshrouds 
Winds intensify, it’s passionate fury swirling 
Leaves, small branches, tossing and hurling

Skies open up, the violent deluge starts pouring 
Thunderous sounds so deafening and roaring 
Lightning engulfs the sky with such blinding light
To many a creature, seemingly a frightening sight

The violence of the thunderstorm, fearful by design 
As if it were God’s own hand wielding furious divine 
The fierceness of the rain, driest of soil consumes all
Giving life to the dry arid ground, newest growth befall

Off in the distance, you hear the faint rumbling fade
The thunderstorms subsides, leaving the mark it’s made
A soft rainfall continues to descend from the grey skies 
As the violent, forceful strength of the winds slowly dies
