Life's Storms
The wind is fierce the sky is gray
The smell of rain is in the air
Brown leaves float like graceful wings
On their winding trip to nowhere
All is quite but for the wind
That rustles Autumn trees
The trees stand tall and stretch their limbs
To feel rain kiss their dying leaves
Then lightning streaks across the sky
The rain pours to the ground
Like a stampede of stallions on a lonely plain
Thunder begins to sound
Then all at once with gentleness
The rain trickles to an end
No lightning flash or thunder's roar
No leaves upon the wind
Storms of life will surely come
Fear not they will not stay
For just as quickly as they appear
They too shall fade away
