The earth for the rain forever cannot long
The birds have to somewhere break into song
A clear dawn lurks
to break the dark forlorn
Brewing and brown
Just beyond my horizon
Sweet promising warm
Is it the whiff I caught ?
Of a lurking storm
How long how long
For the clouds to form?
How long how long
For the skies to rumble into storm?
Will it break before the evening light
Or stake its claims for the dawn unborn?
Will it thunder and sound
Quake and astound?
Shake earth and sky
And fill me at noon with
A deep desire
to gladly die?

ooooh this is a pretty song. i loooooove storms. you built the mystique of the storm beautifully here as it grows and the things you feel before the storm. my cats feel it first and i always get a heads up before it rains unless im at the mall
Lovely
