Storm Waltz

Beneath my feet
the cool green grass tickles
Beyond the trees
the riders of the wind, call
The sweet smell of sunset
brings a smile to my face
The ripples of the river soothe my soul.

Clouds rolling in carry life
The raindrops soon fall to meet the earth
The thunder streaches across sky
and dances with the lightning all night long.
The flowers of my garden are watching, drinking, and laughing
until the waltz in the heaven ends.
The cool green grass
is covered with liquid crystals
as the sun rises and shines
through the presents left by the storm.
