A Poem from long ago and not so far away

Summer Storms
Inspired by Sierra and Lynndsey, A conversation in June 03 at the start of the storm.

The summer storm,
Thunders in my brain,
The lightning flashes,
As it begins to rain.

It comes down in buckets,
In swimming sheets,
The power goes out
I leap to my feet.

Jagged lightning puts on a show,
Thunder booms and cracks and rolls,
The candle flames dance,
This storm soothes my soul.

The crystalyn rain falls,
From a darkling sky,
A glistening tear,
Falls silent from my eye.

The summer storm,
Begins to pass,
With a crack and a snap,
The cold rain is gone.
