A Storm Passed

the rain falls and bounces off the ground​

the splashing is a reoccurring steady beat​

the puddles muffle the ongoing sound​

each drop falls and touches the concrete​

​

the distorted sounds of the drains flow​

water glides down the sidewalks curb​

each droplet captured, taken to the hole​

the thunder, my thoughts it disturbs​

​

the lightening flashed and awoken my sight​

to the branches that laid across the street​

a terrible storm passed by us last night​

still that sound of rain is on constant repeat​

​

the weather does not stop the ongoing day​

I still had to leave and drive to my jobs place​

the normal, “love you babe” I always  say​

It was the starting time I had to chase​

​

the roads had its obstacles, I had to swerve​

damage done to most houses I passed​

this drive of mine, it strained my nerves​

constant wiping of my windshield glass​

​

into the parking lot I turned with glee​

not the first to have arrived at the site​

there was my boss with his large coffee​

I am stuck here until tonight.​
