Excellence Award in the 'Spread The Word 2017' competition

Leaves fluster and rattle
Trees shake fearfully
Sweeping, dragging and inhaling
Gusts of destruction moving like cheetahs
God weeping
Streams of tears roll through gardens
Gentle splashes of dampened trees fall
Sward devours then drains away
Raging roars of thunder
Illuminating flashes of lightning
Heaven’s sweet song
Clouds thinly scatter
Upon horses comes the light
Sun unfolds and sprays the world
Rain rests for a while
Quietude returns once more
