Tricks

Stormy grey skies,
Ink black waves,
Hugging me, 
Choking me,
Mouthful of briny water,
Arms lashing about,
Trying to keep myself afloat,
While looking around with hope.
A strange dream it was,
Last night.
When it was calm outside.
And the barn owl cooed softly,
As a mouse scurried along to hide.

The rains have their own charm, For humans, plants and animals alike. Bright green leaves dotted with sparkling drops, Waves in the sea dancing merrily, Birds ruffling their feathers, The soul of the Earth rejoices with every shower.
