snapshot: rain
I stood on my porch... the green chipped paint scratched at my feet.
The rotting wood of the rundown apartment held the rain back.
I watched the flooded street like one big mirror, reflecting the black sky.
Suddenly blurred... by one drop
another...
another...
and another...
Many began to fall. The chill of the cold front calmed me,
and natures natural music pleased my ears.
The many light clashes of water.
A light crawled the darken sky and
illuminated every drop into a shining diamond.
It faded...
“BOOM!”
natures light: lightning
natures base:thunder
I sat criss cross, watching the event.
To some it was scary
To some it was work
To me and others alike it was peaceful
The melody...
The light of the array...
the cold feeling...
the sensation that swelled only chess
Deep...
“peace,”
and in that instant
a sky purple
a bass that shook
my world...
silence
peace...
