This was written recently, inspired by the many storms we've been having over the past few weeks.

From clear and blue, to dark and gray in no time at all 

A humid hot day turns suddenly cool 

A storm is brewing, better prepare 

Watch the sky, is that a tinge of green i see? 

~ 

A flash of lightning, a clap of thunder 

The sky lights up, the ground it trembles 

The wind and the rain, together cause a stir 

Watch the leaves fly as the roads turn to streams 

~ 

The wind it howls and makes such a fuss 

A minute outside and you're drenched to the bone 

Lightning and thunder, together make a great show 

The clouds are magnificient, the atmosphere electrifying 

~ 

Slowly things calm, the wind it drops 

As the clouds vanish the rain does stop 

And only a distant rumble of thunder remains 

Everything's still, peace has returned. 

~ 

It's hard to belive, what has just occured 

All that remains are scattered leaves on the road 

Broken branches on the lawn, puddles in the street 

And a beautiful sunset over the hills.
