Summer Storm

The sky is dark, windblown murmurations on the water,
trees stand braced, and creatures hide.
But the earth receives your chaos.  She asks you to dance.
She twirls with the wind, gulps the rain, then grows again.

Take me.  I will step into your arms,
lean into your power, breathe your life, crave your renewal.
Wash away the dust and grime of life, born fresh.
When you are through, throw me down, broken and new.
