The wilting flower petals
floated on the cool wind,
under the overcast sky.
The barren yard was silent,
listening intently to the whisper of the winds,
begging the sky for rain.
The pregnant clouds above moved about in turmoil,
trying to push out the heavy rain drops they held inside.
The sun hid behind the clouds,
where only the black outline was visible.
This depressing, yet refreshing, scene
was illuminated for an instant as a bolt of lightning jumped from the clouds.
As the world once again was overcome with dreary shadows,
the rain was finally released onto the black ground.
