Victorious
The Earth exhales her muddy scent into the hazy sky.
A challenge has been issued.

Thunder races to the scene,
A purring echo in its wake.
Lightning winks along the horizon.
Etching his fury against the wind.

The Clouds dim.
Already weary of of the posturing.

Lightning hisses among the desperate growls of his enemy,
But Thunders mighty bellow is relentless.
The challenge has been met.

Enough of this havoc.
The Clouds blacken with rage.
They release a gentle warning.
Rain softly invades the sky.

The combatants seem unaware.
Crack! Boom! Crack!
Boom! Crack! Boom!

The Clouds swirl darkly overhead.
With a last exasperated sigh,
they allow madness to depart of their body.
Wetness careens toward Earth,
deafening the war to calm.

Thunder is awed to silence.
Lightning, shocked into halting.
They scurry away,
weak and sopping.

The Raindrops pool together in triumph,
the Clouds shine down their praise as they move achingly away,
And the Earth laps victoriously at the spoils.
