The Storm

The darkening sky embraces the air
Rain brings warning of coming fury
Taking that which was beautiful and fair
Fingers tapping to check the mercury
Silence is broken by crashing thunder
People scurrying to run for cover
As nature awakens from its slumber 
Ripped from the arms of its peaceful lover
Rolling and crashing with bolts striking through
The dark heavens roar at the sinful earth
As rain beats out its furious tattoo
The world washed clean waiting for its rebirth
Quietly rumbling the storm moves away
Lessons learnt, beginning a brand new day
