Summer Storm

Summer Storm The day unbelievable heavy and humid laden, barely breathable; a sallow haze hangs in the air and noiseless din that pressed against the body and the skin. Singular steel gray clouds painted the sky to ominous dark shrouds and florescent yellow green along the treeline, roll thunder drummed a beat softly hummed feline; intermittent light flickered across the horizon as it rose then brilliant white streaks of crackling white glows, the thunder crackled across the earth below snapping free leaves and branches in tow until electricity ruptured loud the sounds. that slows. Down between the hazy atmosphere rain opened up close and near a downpour cascading through the tree light beams rooftops flowed with swift moving streams flooding gutters to overflowing, washing clean the residue remains unseen. Summer burned the grass brown spots pocketed here along the paths flower petals falling everywhere too fast, these restless winds race in and out exhaling and inhaling every tendril and sprout till the rolls drum off to the distance ending summer drought.
