Sights and Sounds Above

Sights And Sounds Above 
By Curtis Johnson

It’s late April, and almost May Day,                                                                 The wind is blowing gustily;
And the late Spring rain
Is pouring rather heavily

The quietness and the stillness,
Have been disturbed and disrupted.
Some things will become broken;                                                                   
and others will go missing

But before long, the wind flow will lessen,                                                     the rain shall dissipate, and the dark                                                        dreary rain clouds will disappear

Then, the sun will come with consolation;
and we will no longer feel the desolation
We’ll celebrate as it shines upon us gently.
From the watches and warnings of tornadoes,
some prior nights brought us fear and terror

But tonight’s sky will be consumed with                                                    sweet stars and moon light fair.
The darkness shall be forced                                                                       to bow and compromise;
because the moon will wipe away                                                               the tears from today’s rain

Yes, the moon will pull back its curtains
On the stage in the sky,
and light up the night 

With a sheepish halo, the stars shall join their cosmic team;
And gradually ascending from their recline, the stars shall
radiate with massive sparkles and deep abiding calm.

As the night grows old, it's clear to all that the storm has taken its toll.                 The breathtaking sights and sounds above have all had their say.
By bedtime, all are peaceful and poised, as sweet sleep takes us away
