Mere moments earlier the afternoon sun
had beamed its light shafts through the
forest canopy and blue appeared between
the windswept cathedral of forest giants
when suddenly unsuspected forces altered
the stage as the heavens innocent of clouds
became hostage to an oncoming black swelling
presence presaging a series of violent thunder
storms bellowing in the distance and swiftly
closing the gap. Soon curtains of rain began to
swell the forest stream and in its meadow
wildflowers so recently preening in the grace
of the sun were battered by the force of the
unsympathetic rain in an atmosphere suddenly
dark with the drama of thunder and lightning.
