Unusual Day

Dusty winds pick up its normal pace,
Birds go about their business,
Trees are stirring once again,
Falling leaves rush downward to take their place,
Clouds motion to find water,
Sun is the keeper today,
In the distance I hear the rumble,
It is a sign of arrival,
Still yawing I get up to see what causes such a commotion?
Nostrils flair up to the vague smell,
Light does not strike me with it usual force,
Insects buzz at me with their concerns,
I look at them dumbfounded,
What is the matter today?
Hurriedly I rush outside,
Chain of cycles have already begun,
Signs of rain are everywhere,
Ground sends out a lovely aroma,
Clouds have arrived with their baggage,
Thunder joins the excitement,
As I stand motionless staring above.
