Lightning flashes overhead
pale skies blacken, fill with dread.
Winds arise with fiercest howl
earth herself appears to scowl.

Sunny life grows turbulent
happy dreams abruptly spent
on that day he went away
rose hued sky turned ugly grey.

Striking boldly, caring not
of destruction he has wrought.
As the lightning does not note
precious beauty it has smote.

Still the power does attract
sit and watch the lightning crack...
