After The Storm

Nature's Reawakening

Stillness settled suddenly in the wood

Instictively all nature paused to

Listen to the silence after the thunderclap

Eventually, hesitant twitters and tweets

Nullified the need to continue holding their breath

Cacophonous birdsong resumed

Ending the silence of storm-startled wildlife
