Thunderstrom

Dim the lights and let it grow dark

Then comes the flash of light, an intense spark

Then the drum roll begins

The start of the celestial orchestra begins

The clouds are dark shutting out any light

Like armies rolling out ready to fight

Then there is a flash

The lightening runs across the skies like a lash

It spread fast like branches of a tree

What a light show all for free

Then you wait for that sound to start

The roll of thunder tearing the silence apart

The roll goes on and on

Like needle on gramophone stuck on

As the rumble continues to roll

Flash and roll, flash and roll

Then comes the rain in sheets

Adding to the music in the streets

The pattering rain on the tiles

The shattering of drops against the stiles

The drumming of rain on roofing metal

The splashing of the drops in the water starting to settle

The gushing of the waters along the road will

Wind its way down the hill

The heat of the day dissipates

Leaving a coolness everyone anticipates

The rains slows and clouds move away

The lightering and thunder draw further away

The rain slows

The music flows

For the sun smiles

And the rainbow beguiles

The finale is here

The celestial orchestra no longer there
