Thunder Dance
Listen, sssssh, can you hear. In the distance the low soft beat of
his drum. He is coming, he is coming, Brother Thunder is coming his
drum beats are getting stronger. Look a brilliant arrow split the
darkened sky, Brother Lightning has joined Thunder. But who is this
that causes the trees and bushes to sway as her skirts brush past,
ahhh it's Sister Wind. Her dance takes her high in the trees an now
down to the ground, she circles me and I lift my arm an join her in
the dance. Round an round ever faster we dance, but we slow at the
approach of the sound of tiny steps and cooling presence of Sister
Rain. Now Brother Thunder's drum is slowing as be moves to share his
dance, an Brother Lightning's arrow light the way, and now Sister
Wind moves along with our Brothers, leaving Sister Rain to cool the
fever of the dance and give freshness to the Earth.
