[bodytext] => The sky is still Dark clouds float overhead Color so intense it hurts my eyes I want to see through it To know what is on the other side The stars, the moon the sun At first it whispered Like a sweet lover’s caress It keened and twisted My hair moved across my shoulders I looked around to see But I saw nothing at all The leaves are trembling Like laughing coyotes The branches bending Strong graceful limbs dance Teasing the piper’s song From cricket’s uneven harmonies Great gusts come up from the lake Angry puffs of warm air against my cheek The birds swoop and cry out a warning I sit on the porch swing and wait For clouds churning down from the mountains Thunder rumbles and scolds me The crickets have gone silent Giant raindrops slide from clouds Each one its own note Listen, listen as they fall My pretty flowers bend and bow As if to some angry god The rain a solid curtain now Lightening rips the blackened sky Thunder pounds its angry fist The cat curls up next to me Watching the rain race down the spout Running in rivers to the sea It’s letting up now It won’t be long A few more frantic gusts One last flash and rumble and it is gone Heavy wet branches breathe a sigh of relief The sun comes peeking through sullen clouds I walk through the glittering wet grass seeking The gift of a rainbow Left behind like a memory A summer storm, hot and passionate Full of noise and glorious ambition But it soon passes forgotten as a dream ~merry~ [comments] => 3 [counter] => 273 [topic] => 27 [informant] => merry [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => NaturePoetry )
