Rain falls
pounding
the roof
pink clouds
in the distance
swallowed by
a smokey monster
lightning and a sonic boom
pure chaos
in this tiny room
while I look at a dogwood tree
perfect in its beauty
the gutters flood
an SUV drives by
I’m just staring out the window
into the storm
peaceful skies
interrupted
by merging thunder
a mile away
lights flash
the rain stops
lives lost
beyond the storm.
Well written!
