Waves of Gold

The clouds looked dark & swollen,
As if a thousand tears would flow all of a sudden,
Just then a flash of lightning lit up the whole sky,
Alarming the flock of birds flying so high.

Thrown into a reverie,
She remembered a similar night,
When the thunder had boomed too close.
And a sudden flash had lit up the hay roof.
Her pleas for help had failed
While the golden waves danced around her.
Then all was quiet.

Nights like these,
She missed them.
Wondering whether they did too.
