Swallows race ahead of the great approaching storm.
The evening sky flattens, and darkens, and begins to churn.
Lightning, still distant, allumes the heavy canopy.
The dark sky shivers with snaps of light.
A bolt of lightning scores the sky with energy.
Heaven is awake!
The smell of ozone & sweet summer rain fills the air.
Rain begins to fall and the trees begin to sway.
