Earth Drums

Earth Drums

although the sun
brilliantly shines
and the sky is
a magnificent blue

off in the distance
is softly heard
mother nature beating
upon the earth

out on the horizon
can be seen
grey clouds rapidly
moving over the sea

closer to shore now
the sun hides
sound of drums
are more intense

darkness embraces
the silent coastline
lightning flashes
rain pours down

mother nature
sings her tune
releasing her anger
playing earth drums

    This is beautiful!

    "off in the distance
    is softly heard
    mother nature beating
    upon the earth"
    ^^^I love this stanza! And the last stanza is pretty fantastic, too. Very nice piece!
