Woodland Storm

Roots crisscross in blind display;

Quickly rain each crevice fills,

Feeling through the dirt and clay,

Giving life in joyous rills.

 

Sending creatures to their homes

In warmth to wait and listen –

Thunder laughs and slowly roams

To warn of lightning’s glisten.

 

Soon the storm from woodland flees;

Drops come dripping to the earth,

Breathing faint the gentle breeze

Filled with scents of life and mirth.
