Petrichor

A silence that blankets the Earth
Is shattered by the patter from the rooftop to the floor
And the wind that flutters the trees
Becomes violent as it's tearing every leaf down from its seams
...
The peace that covered the ground
It shutters with the thunder that drowns out every sound
In a sky of deep clouded gray
Comes a flash of purple lightning and down pours all the rain
...
Two little drops race down the glass
And I open the windows by the handles of brass
The smell of the earth
As the rain has soaken through
Petrichor how I love you
...
Now the pavement is darkened like night
In the glistening a rainbow breaks with colored beams of light
And the soil a pillow of earth
With another shaky crackle, I'm reminded of its worth
...
The light now is of a new breed
With the dappled sunlight streaming through the renewed trees of green
Birds flitter and they start to sing
The fear has dissipated with a calmness in the breeze
...
I step out my door, and I look to the sky
White clouds they come rolling
Bidding others goodbye
The smell of the earth
As the rain has soaken through
Petrichor how I love you
