The angsty breeze became an angry wind
shouting obscenities at adamant trees
who fumed and exhorted with upturned leaves
and so many terrifying syllables
cautioning the wind against its
wayward ways
Sparks flew
Lightning cracked the sky into two
So much sharp fury
Even the grey brown skies couldn't conceal
Slamming its mighty fist on the earth
In a ear -splitting thunder
the reverberations
went on forever ,
rumbling
grumbling
into distant villages
dying a quiet death somewhere placid
Meanwhile the arguments escalated
the wind howled and raged and stamped
the trees stood their ground .
The leaves spoke a collective remonstration
Finally the skies have had enough
And the Rains began
hesitant to interrupt
at first , then tumultuous
Joyous , exuberant
letting go . Largesse from the skies
came pouring
In sleet, sheets of rain ,
weaving curvy patterns on earth ,
dodging the wind , The
leaves repentantly dripping , heads bowed down ,
winds occasionally sobbing still
The trees stoic and steadfast.
