Summer Storm

Flashes of lightning across the dark sky the rumble of thunder rolls like beating drums resounding over the heavens then a sound of silence rain slowly starts to drop upon the dry parched earth gaining speed to a steady beat drenching all one big crack like a cymbal it awakens all within hearing distance slowly it starts to dissipate the tears from heaven stop mist slowly draws in closing the curtain as a blanket of white turns all to nothingness. 26/02/ 17
