Spring Storm
The storm clouds gather in the west
The thunder rolls and  rumbles.
A sudden gust of wind picks up
Dry leaves that toss and  tumble.
 
Then all is still, the world awaits.
A raindrop falls and  splashes,
A bird darts swiftly through the trees
As to shelter it now  dashes.
 
The lightning flashes 'cross the sky.
Another roar of  thunder-
It seems to shake the very earth
And tear its peace  asunder.
 
The rain is falling faster now,
It forms a misty curtain.
And  then the sun peeks out again,
At first it seems uncertain.
 
The storm rolls off toward the east,
The thunder now is  distant.
A bird alights upon a limb,
His chirping sounds  insistant,
 
That the world stands refreshed
By sudden wind and rain,
For  now the sun is shining
And all is right again.
