[bodytext] => 5am, a breezy freshness energized the atmosphere the wind picked up, played with the leaves a spectacle to make things clear a drop of rain, both thick and cold fell upon a spawning leaf the silence in between the drops it's hesitance was only brief. a sudden downpour fired the windows gutters tested, flowing sounds sweet smell released as if on order belted out from pummelled ground an awesome echo from the night sky told all what was on it's way sudden awakening on pillows I just groaned then turned away but footsteps from the other bedroom hammered out towards my door my little boy confused, excited, night care added to my chores a flash, what light! Startles, no logic can explain the sudden fear that hits as clouds explode at distance shaking all as if they're near the question's rolled one after other how far is that one away? Why does lightning flash so brightly? Is the flash as bright as day? Could it kill you if it hit you? Can it go right through the walls? are you safe wearing rubber shoes? Would it blow off both your balls? Silliness is not far away when your frightened in the dark whilst flashing, banging ancient torment makes reality seem so stark transformer hit, a power outage amplifies the sudden flash crackling thunder crosses the dark sky to the window we both dash house alarms go off in stages as the lack of power hits the beauty of this new day's dark start inspires my boy to quietly sit and stare at all he knows in silence temporarily exposed I get up, it's nearly up time searching in darkness for my clothes. All at once the rain stops, wind drops a light is witnessed from the east the sun creeps in under the dark cloud beauty following on from beast.
