The Storm. A Poem

A lovely day, the sun was warm
It had shone on us since dawn.
The heat oppressed us all the day,
Even as in bed we lay.

We went to Leipzig in the heat.
In Thomaskirke we took our seat
To hear St John by J.S.Bach.
It did not end till after dark.

When we emerged it was in rain.
We rushed to find our car again.
The thunder rolled across the sky,
The lightning flashed, but now we're dry.

We drove towards Chemnitz and saw
O'er Dresden, flashes like the War'
Was it '45 again
With bombs falling like the rain?

The lightning flashed, the thunder boomed.
We thought that wewere surely doomed'
It must at least be Armageddon,
Such brightness in a sky so leaden.

The storm went of for several hours
Showing nature's awesome powers
And even though it scared us some
We were impressed. It struck us dumb.

If you liked my poem, which was written after an actual storm in Germany, please add a comment and I'll get back to you. If you woul like to re-blog it I would be very grateful.
