Lightning Dance

By Josh Helmuth

The deep blue sky grays

Clouds sweep over the sun
The wind breathes and the air is chilled

drip

Trees bend and sway
The day was still young
But, clouded, the horizon has been filled

Rumble

Feel the heavens roar
The ground drinks deep
The sky breaks as the lightning dances

CRACK

The rains pour
As lightning goes to sleep
A familiar light shines as the passing storm advances
