The Storm's Melody

It froths and churns like an angry beast

Lightning splits the sky in furious streaks

Rain falls from above in sheets

This is the song of the storm.

And as it falls upon my roof

 Drops act like they're aloof

teasing that they'll stay put

This is the behavior of the storm.

A wind takes out my candle's flame

It screams and howls against the windowpane

The thunder rumbles and rattles my brain

This is the horrid beauty of the storm.

So when this animal's rage dies down

There is only a dripping sound

I walk out of my home to see the clouds

Disappear, but to return again.

This performance of nature was quite nice

The storm, while frightening, did surprise

and now as I watch the sunrise

I shall remember the storm's melody.
