Colorado Storms

Spring thunder
Long, low, rolling
Breaks the silence of the evening
Shaking the Earth below
Sunset and gray skies
Clouds rising over the mountains
Flatirons rest in shadows
We stand together
Bare feet in the green grass
Feeling the wind
Rain begins to fall
Gentle and cool
And we dance
And we kiss
Showers wash over us
Tangling hair
Streaming down cheeks
Sweetening lips
The rumble of thunder
Long and low
Eyes open
Mysteries unveiled
