Stormy Night Poem by sabrina davies

The falling water droplets engulf the night sky,
Dull and dry soil can once again rejoice.
PITTER PATTER PITTER PATTER
Every dropp that falls from the clouds with silver linings
A plants' thirst is quenched by each Splish and Splash
....hitting the bone-dry soil
Life can begin anew for little seeds planted by people
Hoping to grow crops and other nessecities......
Then....
Thunder rumbles....
lightning lights up the night sky as a blinding white streak
The 'pitter patter' that whispered ever so slightly
And pulled me to sleep....
Turned into a loud 'thump thump CRASH! 'as hail developed
......the iceballs of doom
A full-fledged storm has unleashed all its power......
Rain...hard enough to create a bruise
Thunder.....so loud it could make you deaf
and Lightning......brighter than the sun
Laying wide awake and fearful am I....
In though of a flash flood....
Or...maybe a tornado would hit
My eyes slowly closed and my body relaxed...
Then my ears picked up a whistling sound
Could it be the feared tornado that passed my mind....
Gladly, I am wrong...
The thunder grew softer and softer and the lightning grew less frequent
The rain grew to the lulling sound of a........pitter...patter...pitter...patter
I was in REM sleep when i heard a deafening 'CRASH'
The rain was still the same lulling pattern
However, the wind picked up in intensity
Tree branches thumped against my window pane
and...The debris was swept off of the street by the forceful winds
The horrendous night turned into dawn
....Puddles everywhere
Plants thirsts' were quenched
There was even a rainbow or two that caught my attention! ! !
I kept the beauty of mother nature to myself and slowly.......
drifted of...........to
.....Sleep
