Light flashes in the night
Booming thunder shakes the house
Pounding rain fills the air
Rivers gorge on its wealth
Rushing, churning
Taking everything in its path
In careless abandonment
To paces unknown.
The quiet is deafening
As the storm spent passes on
Hesitantly, one by one, birds call out
As if afraid to bring natures wraith
Upon them.
Air so clean and bright
Sun peaks its rays in the night
Dawn brings a new day
Birds sing with glee as seeds poke their heads
Through soil drenched in love.
Life renews and continues on
Paths set out before
Those ready to learn lessons
Until time grows short and darkness descends
Asleep until called again to being anew.
