The peaceful calm
is neatly broken
by the rolling rumble
crash of thunderclap
In the gusting wind
there is a distinct flap
of the last bird
flying nest bound
Lightning flashes
and sky writhes in agony
dismal blues pursue
fear of unknown
The gravid cloud
expectant of times to come
undaunted, gives birth
to promises of destiny
In cheerful silence
nature nurtures
her newborn twins..
a rain drop and an icicle
