"Shimmering, light fills the sky.
The blues are blue again,
and the greens are green.
Slowly, the air clears."
Here, where it is extremely dry after a winter that produced little snowfall, we are keen for rain. Although it is early, the promise of spring rainfall is front of mind for many. While this book describes the wonder of a rainstorm in summer, I think it is worthy of sharing today.
The setting is a lake. It sits enveloped by dense foliage in colors that run the gamut of nature's greens. The rain falls gently; then grows in intensity. The darkness of the storm clouds brings a color change to the forest envrions. It rains harder; the wind blows furiously; thunder pounds; lightning strikes with obvious intensity. As happens with summer storms, it is soon over. The rain stops. The sun shines upon this beautiful natural space with a shimmer that changes the greens once again. As it sets, shafts of golden light bathe the setting in golden glow and silver shimmer before dusk descends and the moon rises into a darkening sky. Through the night, the dark sky is filled with starlight's glow that leads to peaceful slumber for all.
No humans, no animals, just the pure beauty of nature in all of its glory. Stunning!
