Nature 12
Lightning Crashes
Lightning crashes
And thunder booms
A bright blue thunderbolt
Brightens the sky
Dark dim clouds roll in
As the sky turns dark during the day
Droplets of rain
Drop from the dark sky
Forming muddy puddles
In the dirt of the road
Lightning crashes
And thunder booms
A bright blue thunderbolt
Brightens the sky
People scurry down the street
As their clothes absorb the rain
Trees run rampant
In the raging wind
Lighting crashes
Strikes an old frightened tree
Snapping it in two
Lightning crashes
The storm passes
And thunder booms
As the clouds roll away
Revealing the radiant sun
Bright beams of brilliant light
Shine down upon the dead tree
Exposing the manifestation
Of new life to the sun.
