Another ode to the storm
Heavier now in July's departure

Raindrops bombard the pavement
Swelling into deep puddles
Quenching the thirst of the blacktop
Dying in the summer heat

Its become mesmerizing, the rains descent
The harder it hits, the freer I become
I will myself to become lost in it
To let nature's chorus touch me

Storms bring out my desire to be cleansed
Claps of thunder parade into far reaches
Rattling the sediment of unkind thoughts
Buried from the drought of time

The goddess of calamity's healing lyric
Rhythmic vibes of transparency
Washing away muddied hearts
Embracing whatever is to come.
