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
