In the middle of summer’s heat: a storm unleashed.
Carrying secrets from elsewhere, it groans fiercely- wails, gnashes teeth in rage.
Downpours carve the thirsty earth, cooling the air. Unexpected, relentless, where just last week it held us in a warm embrace.
Alex, who shuns the sun’s heat, must be happy, at least. No longer hot and bothered, a different way to accept peace the quiet solace of cooler skies.
The elements dance defiant of the seasons: reminding us of nature's ever-changing mood.
