Safe Haven

    Safe Haven

    The day is very hot
    with a chance of thunderstorms.

    As predicted, it begins to turn dark
    and then a distant rumble.

    As it grows darker,
    the sound of thunder grows louder.

    Then suddenly, a flash of light
    followed by a loud boom.

    Once the shock is gone
    comes the sound of rain

    with the dog and cat
    together in my lap.
