Thunder clashes as lightning shoots across the sky,
Rain pounds on the panes and I hear my daughter cry.
Darkness one moment daylight in a flash,
Fear turns to peace before another clash.
It’s loud for a moment as silence ushers in,
A deep sleep and a rest that doesn’t wake me again.
Till morning when the first rays of light peek through,
The shades on my window off the drops of morning dew.
And I open the window to something so fresh and so clear,
A most beautiful morning erased of all fear.
A freshness that only spring storm clouds could bring,
Through the wreckage the very first glimpses of spring.
