Stormy Weather

Thunder in the distance,
Rain clouds fill the air.
Lightening flashes brightly,
Striking where it dares.

Like a mighty warrior,
The storm strikes fast and hard.
Sometimes leaving destruction,
As we look out at our yards.

When the storm is over,
And the sun begins to shine.
The birds come out of hiding,
And we know all is fine.
