A Great Storm At Twilight Poem by Tony Adah

A tired day helped to end
The orange bright rays of the sun
At this times always the sun is down
But now the sky rumbled and a blue-black
Sheet of clouds wrapped the horizon hiding the sun.

The eastern mountains were far
And the western end near and dark of dusk
Yawning valleys swallowed the clouds with the
Flowery meadows that adorn their backs
Flashes of lightning unveiled the Sky's
Frowning and dark face at dusk and the rain
Poured like the oceans were above.
The growling thunderstorms shook the earth
And the greedy earth gulped the rainwater
Sending the excess to the streams,
Rivers and the oceans.

In the morning everything was still
As the rain had gone
Now silent barrels stood brim filled
And rooftops shone as bright as new
But for the brown golden ones
In a silent conversation with age.
The eastern mountains glowed at their edges
With bright yellow shine
And the effulgence like sparkling diamonds
Poured daylight upon the world.
