I hear the deep rolling growl of my fathers pick up truck pulling into our driveway
The plumes of smoke filling the air like an ominous grey cloud of warning.
Everyone knows the smell of rain.
That sweet crisp scent that encases your whole being.
Everyone has felt the wind pick up right before a storm.
the gods are angry
they shake my window
with their boisterous voices
they casue my body to tremble in fear
and my eyes to overspill their salty tears
zeus and his lightning are vengeful tonight
Water ripplesas the raindropsdrop down like bullets pelting us with no mercy.The rumble of the thunderin the distance,shakes like an earthquake.The crackling of the lightninghits home and
Storm clouds gather in the afternoon skies
Like doubts and fears clouding my eyes
They used to be hazel, now they're grey
Once they shown like a bright autumn day
I know your eyes aren't seeing like they used to see
And the track marks left circles round your heart
They say the sun must always set on beauty
Cause the rain always needs a place to start
A scent to clear the mind,
A sound that can heal much,
Blessed are those who feel the rain
Without the sense of touch.
Sitting in a room in the dark with the shades up
quietly absorbing the vibrations gently rocking the penthouse,
I am still.
Basking in the intermittent, fleeting flashes of fluorescent
Down,
Down,
Down the window,
Down the window pane,
Drip,
Drop,
Patter,
Stop,
Softly falls the rain.
Grey skies,
Stormy sighs,
The clouds are hanging low,
Green-grey clouds
Bring rain to city streets
Thirsty flora and fauna
Wind, wet with wild waterdrops
Beat a fervent staccato against windows
Across the window pane
Drops falling fast
Whispering silent secrets
Casting shadows of the past
Some may see sadness
And cry their own tears
Cascade down crimson cheeks
The Sky
Insisting to reflect what is inside of me
Darkened it's clouds to night
Pouring out my grief;
The trees bowed and trembled beneith it's power;
I turned my face up to accept it's companionship
I got caught in a thunderstorm
and thought about the way our bodies move
through the sky and fall to the earth just like that.
