To begin with, all was such a blast
But the heat soon sapped our strength away
So Nature takes revenge at last...
We were warned, but paid no heed
Though flies and bees went mad outside
Clouds gathered at uptempo speed
The breeze gave leaves a violent ride.
Restful on my terrace chair
Though temperatures had not abated
Anticipation in the air
But talk of storms? Quite overrated ...
Yet in the sultry, midnight dark
Weighty rainclouds lay abed
When lightning strikes, fast, bold and stark
Caused telltale rumbles overhead...
More flashes – room like stage set lit!
Familar sounds on windowpane
Nature's drama is a hit
Behold, the welcome sight of rain!
