A Cold Sun

The sun lost it's sting

Shadows grew longer and darker
There was a gentle breeze
And suddenly, the sky darkened
Ominous clouds stretched across the sky
The wind howled loudly

Trees whistled as they twisted

In an ungraceful dance

Dogs barked

A few fat raindrops fell from the heavens

And then, the rain fell….andfell.

Heaven opened every flood gate

And the waters poured upon the ground

The earth sucked it all up greedily

Until it was full

…. But still, the rain fell……

The chill was thick in the air

Lightening pierced the sky

Its long fingers touching the earth

The Heavens thundered loudly

Birds screeched and huddled together

Only snails and earthworm seemed at peace

As they slithered around contentedly.
