Rain

Thunder booms
Across our
Neighborhood
It sounds
Like cannons
Being fired
Torrential rain
Soaks the ground
The winds
Are fierce
Driving the rain
Horizontally
The air smells
Fresh
Purple lightning
Crackles closeby
I lie in bed
The fireplace
Is glowing
Warming me
As I listen to the
Music
The rain makes
As it hits
Our awning
Water drips
Onto our
Window air conditioner
Ping ping ping
It sounds
I feel totally
Relaxe
And at peace
In my spirit
A wonderful
Autumn storm
Time for sleep
