Silence signals another storm

and clouds quickly form.

Thunder cracks faint, then strong,

trees whip the clouds along,

lightning dances here and there;

raindrops dash everywhere

refreshing earth and cooling air.

Soon the clouds scoot on their way

and calm descends upon the day.

As the sun resumes her stay

puddles start to fade away,

from all the trees and bushes

a pulsing‑buzzing rushes

as Cicadas break the bounds,

releasing all the summer sounds.
