Unexpected

They didn't predict this much rain

actually they called for a sunny day

I knew better I had aches and pains

that and saw clouds coming this way

Its been raining for hours non stop

so I kept an eye on the gullies and streams

watched them doubled in size with each drop

it was like watching a dream

Lightening illuminated the sky

followed by a deafening roar

Boom!

Bang!

Crash!

Electricity was in the air

another blinding flash

my ears rang from a thunder's clap

I watched in horror as the water rose

before long it was at my door

it found it's way soon was covering the floor

I was in awe, couldn't move, I froze

a sudden silence, a hair raising snap

knocked back to reality, out of my trance

running up stairs to the master bed

I tore open the curtains for a better view

expecting a flood I saw sun instead

and a perfectly clear sky of blue
