Remnants of sunlight
Peep through the trees,
And dapple the foliage
As it sways in the breeze…

And the hollyhocks dance,
While the golden rays
Of the setting sun
Adorn the day!

As the light dwindles,
And the seagulls cry
Of an imminent storm
Under darkening sky…

While the clouds gather,
Then the lightning strikes!
In a silver brush stroke
Exposing the night…

To a rumble of thunder
Like the roll of drums…
As the heavens make way
For the rising sun!
