Highveld Storm

20 Feb 2007

Mistral
Blazing streaks of lightning 
slashing open ashen sky,
rolling drums of thunder
echoing in the heavens high.
Collective clouds in hues of grey
swelling up to bursting point,
gathering their wholesome fluid;
it's the Earth they will anoint.
Rain, newly formed; first drops fall,
tumbling down with heavy sound,
slowly churning dusty roads
and hungry earth to muddy ground,
creating puddles big and small
in the hollows of every street.
Soon there will be joyous fun;
paradise for little feet.
