after storm ...

by Anita Dapperens

 

gazing up at sheeplike clouds
tiny drops of dew
glittering in rainbow colours
drip onto my face
 
lightning flashes, thunder roars
sheep turn into growling wolves
keen on wreaking havoc
set to wrack the peace
 
suddenly
bright streams of sunlight
warming my dampened skin
break up the raging herd
 
giving birth to summer
giving birth to hope
