Summer Storm
The thunder in your voice precocious in the dawn
Mighty tower of white crashing down a frothy song
As sand shook beneath my shore planted feet
The rushing wave covered the beach like a sheet
Ominous the clouds overhead trying to complete
Steely grey mood marries horizon to sky and fierce sea
As shore birds dip and dive in momentary shadow fall
Their wings lift above the relentless roiling brawl
A flash of light as thunder answers thunders call
Closer the blackened smudge comes the summer storm
Quick my steps of retreat before the cold rain spills
My vision full of mother natures’ bilious thrills
