The weather you love

Careening and booming around the sky

Lightening and darkening in a staged performance

Chases its audience under tents of newsprint

To shelters of tin that respond in cadence.

A nightly occurrence, a daily endurance,

Sometimes violent, sometimes in a caress,

The rain and thunder fills the fields.

Summertime storms in the heat,

Scaring the sizzling sun away.

The weather you love

Careening and booming around the sky,

Lightening and darkening in a staged performance,

Chasing the audience under tents of newsprint

To shelters of tin that respond in cadence.

A nightly occurrence, a daily endurance,

The rains and thunder filling the fields

Sometimes violent, sometimes a caress

Summertime storms in the heat,

Scaring the sizzling sun away.
