The Storm

Can you hear that? 
It's the quiet before the storm 
Lets take the tour. 
You may have seen one similar.... 


Silence takes over the meadow 
sweeps through the trees 
and soon takes over the whole forest... 
Now is when the thunder comes rolling 
as if it were warning you of how 
tremendous it is. 
A flash of lightning lights the sky on 
command... 
The rain comes next, 
touching the forest all over with a tingling 
sensation. 
As the rain pours down , the forest 
remains still 
while filling with the sweet tangy aroma of 
fresh rain. 
A crash of thunder shakes the entire 
ground 
and lighting strikes filling the forest with a 
bright light. 
The forest, scared, gives in to the storm, 
lets it take over, meanwhile lighting strikes 
and thunder rolls. 
The damp forest accepts this. 
The sparks of lighting egnite the fire 
inside. 
Rain won't stop this warmth from growing, 
and taking over the forest, emrabcing its 
clutches... 
The rain soon realises its no use..... 

... Seen it before, you may have, 
The storm has now settled and the fire 
has windled down to embers 
glowing hot along side the rain..
