Teacher: Merrilee Eyre
still and silent, all is calm
the approaching storm awaits
softly humming, tinkling, strumming
the swirling brush of branch to branch
the wind whistles and roars through the reeds
a crash of Lightning--a roll of Thunder—Deafening
the rhythmic beating of branches in gusting wind
the downpour declines to a gentle patter
a breeze whispers through the leaves
the storm slowly drifts away
still and silent, all is calm
