Storm


The plans for a beautiful sunny day go awry
Everything in sight is covered with a thick gray blanket
One cool droplet slowly falls from the cluster of clouds above, bringing life to everything around it
A pleasant surprise overwhelms the scenery as everything becomes fresh and new
Grass is greener
Trees grow larger
Flowers bloom
Everything becomes enveloped in a burst of color
Until finally…
The few droplets that once brought happiness begin suffocating the life that they once nurtured so well
Beating down harder and harder, the beads of rain no longer bring joy and life
The storm brews until it is finally released, killing everything in sight
Grass is trampled on
Trees are murdered by the powerful winds
Flowers wither 
The end seems light-years away as the darkness covers up the horrid scene
Until the next morning, when the sun shines through the extensive clouds
With each ray of light promising a new beginning
