It’s getting eerie quiet
The clouds are turning grey
Thunder screams across the sky
The birds have flown away
Dancing on the mountains
Shadows mark them as their own
The barren eucalyptus branches
Start to creak and groan
The wind picks up its tailcoats
And howls around the place
Its blustering rage assaults me
My heart begins to race
The air smells thick of ozone
Electric shivers on my skin
Lightning strike is eminent
Any moment will begin
The calm before the storm
Tells me “Hey, it’s time to go!”
But something keeps me planted
I want to see the show
