The birds take cover
The squirrels scamper about
Frantic to find shelter
The thunder getting loud.
The branches stressed
The flowers folding
The leaves are falling
The wind is blowing.
The water rises
The butterflies…. asleep
They rest beside the river
Though the water’s cold and deep.
All the creatures of nature
While burrowing in
Look back at the clouds
The storm soon begins.
They fear for their young ones
Some may not survive
They pull them in close
To keep them alive.
Some cannot swim
They’ll keep their heads down
Left out in the storm
Too many may drown.
They wait for the morning
The turmoil won’t last
It won’t stay forever
The storm soon will pass.
