Onomatopoeia

wind sweeps through the trees
and dark clouds hover aloft
as birds swiftly rifle through canopies

rain drops syphon through cloudy ventricles
and fall, clenched to the earth
to land and solidify into icicles

the lightning clashes with zeus' fervor
as the thunder applauds
the storm turns on her afterburner

the thunder loudens and lightning intensifies
as rain pounds the earth
who can do nothing but patiently wait by

then, at last her solace has come
as the storm is overtaken by the burning sun

as the light warms with an orange glow
the earth damp from heaven's show

the birds that hid will sing for glee
as the sun opens her eye beautifully

her blazing glare will reach the earth
and grass will spring forth in rebirth

her warming rays will cottle this child
as the oppressive cold is finally exiled

the night is gone inside and out
as all of creation awakens and trifles about

the bears eyes have opened wide
only in response to the light, does she abide

the light is impetus to the conversion
as she has overcome nature's perversion
