On the horizon a brief flash <br />In the distance a soft boom <br />Through the treetops a short woosh <br />From the pavement a light hiss <br /> <br />Flash! lightning fills the sky <br />Boom! thunder consumes the void <br />Woosh! wind dances through the leaves <br />Hiss! first dropp kisses the ground <br /> <br />The lightning blinds the eye <br />The thunder deafens the ears <br />The wind cools the flesh <br />The Tempest surrounds the spirit <br /> <br />On the horizon lightning fades <br />In the distance thunder quiets <br />Through the treetops wind softens <br />From the pavement perfume rises<br /><br />Sean McCoy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lightning-thunder-wind-rain/
