Summers First Storm

Mother Nature

I can see her anger from outside my window

She shows off her beautiful

power through many inches of rain.

I hear a crack of thunder

as the rain falls onto my rooftop, softly.

But then it changes from softly

to violently, and Mother Nature

becomes angrier. The thunder

causes me to jump this time and I look out my window

to see the rain

is falling harder now, but is still so beautiful

My window is covered in racing rain drops, beautiful.

The storm is becoming louder now, and the rain is no longer falling softly

I’ve always loved rain.

It’s beautiful how nature

can change its form so quickly. Again, I look out my window

and see a giant flash of lightning, followed by more thunder.

The rain

and the thunder

almost scares me. 

I watch in awe as mother nature

continues to work her beautiful

magic. The tree branches swing softly

in the wind, then violently and leaves fly at my window.

Outside my window,

the rain

starts to fall more softly.

The thunder

lessens and I begin to spy a beautiful

rainbow in the distance. Ah, nature.

It’s amazing, the things Mother Nature can show you from outside your window. The first storm of summer is my favorite and is always the most beautiful. I love listening to the rain fall softly on my window sill. But all of this rain and thunder will never keep me from seeing such a perfect storm.
