Sitting outside
hot Summer sun
heat index easily reaching 101
sun beating on ivory flesh
til it turns bright red
spanked by UV rays
til sweat trickles from head
Humidity so thick it surrounds
like fingers squeezing lungs
difficult to breath it's hold astounds
Suddenly leaves in trees start to
rhythmically sway back and forth
mother nature breathes deep sigh
of relief from the North
Clouds roll in like a blanket
covering up fiery solar rays
hot Summer day
turning into a scene of muggy haze
sit back and observe
as the sky becomes so angry
smile as I realize
the fury will bring relief to me
Removing shoes
putting them right back on
flames of Hell lick at my feet
watching this Summer scene play out
settling back comfortably
in green wicker seat
bolt of lightning flashes
in front of my eyes
breeze getting stronger
as groans and sighs
come from the skies
Anger increasing
as the sky begins to roar
neighbors exit car
run for shelter to front door
Tears fall from stormy black clouds
Hitting roof
pit-pat-pitter-pat
so loud
fingers of humidity
begin releasing hold
stepping out from under eaves
feeling Mother Nature's tears
so cold
face upright
feeling her tears on skin
Regressing from
adulthood to childhood
spreading arms wide
beginning to spin
raindrops beat down
on pavement and steam
begins to rise
revelling in the BEAUTY
of the storm's groans and sighs
Dancing with raindrops
like a rendition of "Stomp"
lifting feet in puddles
beginning to romp
lovely anger and fury
storm in the Summer season
feeling innocent joy
and freedom of a child...
and a few raindrops are the reason
