Tropical storm showering
Attacking the erect leaves and blades of grass
Until the leaves and blades of grass go limp

Crash!

Thunder and lightening appear
Screeching screams echo across the forest plain
Momentarily overlapping the rain drops

Drips sliding down the brown bark of each tree
Slowly trickling off the lip of each branch

More rain

Harder rain

Now pouring rain

Such flooding rain
Gaining momentum

Screeching screams of wind and thunder become louder
Taking a voice of their own
Building from a whimper
Erupting in an Earth shaking outburst

Such powerful lightening
Teaming with the wind knock a mighty Oak
Dropping it down to its knee

A disfigured stump
Caught in this tropical storm’s war path

Limp leaves rustle
Swaying back and forth
To and fro
Seemingly wiping the rain from bark

Puddles formulate

Lifeless streams irrigate

A force not of Mother Nature’s creation to mediate

Take notice
Observe the source of such storm

The never ending
Sorrow filled
Downpour

The angry
Relentless lightening

The depressed wail of wind and thunder

When you gaze into that tropical sky
You are gazing into my eye
Because without you
I scream
And I cry
