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.
