Nature's Greeting

Wind, lightning, thunder
Early morning summer storm
Cracking loudly into the dawn
Traveling swiftly through

Gusts, hail, pounding rain
Greet the daylight's coming
Silencing nature's awakening chatter
Beckoning timid limbs to dance

Softer, louder, softer
The swish of passing traffic
Ignoring nature's might and fury
Rushing on invincibly

Rumble, drizzle, calm
Early morning summer storm
Pushing east, clouds in turmoil
Leaving, in its wake, sweet freshness
