Thunderstorm

You stare up at the sky

and admire the perfect sunny day

when out of the shining blue

comes total black.

Like a switch has been flipped,

roiling, angry storm clouds tumble forth

too fast, too unforeseen

for you to find shelter.

You tremble,

seeking patches of sunlight hope

battling to shine amidst so much shadow

the sky just doesn't know how to feel.

But she's trying to be brave.

As soft pale rays begin to peek through,

as you sigh your relief,

the floodgates open

and the Storm has won
