Whispering thunder resounds from clear sky,
Arresting! Take cover and contemplate...

First time I saw him, on the porch, rockin' in...

Kiss of the dew on my feet from freshly
Mowed grass, comforted internally...

Soars to the sky upon wind-lifted wings,
While bound to the earth with unbounded glee...
