Storm
Silence shattered as thunder cracks ripping into the once peaceful night
Crackling flash of electric shock invades the sky in brilliant light
Rain spills from grey looming clouds beating the earth below
The old Oak tree bending to kiss the earth outlined by lightnings glow
Shrill blast as a siren adds it's wail to the once silent night
A dog begins to bark then others join in to express their own fright
Another bolt of sizzling electricity hits the rain soaked ground
As quickly as it came it's gone just spatter of rain the only sound
