After the Storm

The thunder roars

Lightening flashes

The clouds rumble

The sky remains midnight black

The trees and plants bend over as if in submission, begging to be spared

Everyone is confused, as the sky was once blue

The rains begin to fall in a heavy downpour

Engulfing everything they come across as if in a fury

Drenching the entire human race

And suddenly, it ceases

Like there never was a drizzle

Suddenly the black sky turns blue

The whites begin to seep in too, forming a cool color

The trees stand straighter

The grass is fresher, greener

The sand looks cleaner

The birds are very thrilled and sing in their best voices

The gutters gurgle with pleasure as the roads are swollen

The atmosphere is beautiful

The humans are amazed at the sudden change.
