Rainstorm

Quick bright flashes illuminate the darkness
only for an instant
Rolling echoes swirl across the skies
the very air vibrates
A thousand fingers tap on my roof and windows
staccato of the heavens
A heart from excitement gallops ever-faster
matching the storm's tempo
Cool sweet breeze to lift the fallen spirits
moist upon my skin
Embracing the cold tears greeting me tonight
in darkness find release
Smiles upon our faces as the light will quickly show
peaceful slumber comes
Lullaby of cracking whips and rumbles
kissing me goodnight
