When You Wish Upon a Star...

A storm is vying,
     trying to form...
I can feel it, taste it
     as the air around me changes,
charges with electricity
     before i see the dark clouds roll
like a distant cry or thunderclap
     to make you wonder 
what it was you heard
     and who is really in control
when an iron bar atop your home
     is the best that you can do
The grass stands on end,
     the leaves tremble in anticipation
this will not be moisture nor condensation;
     this will be torrents
if the portents are true
     and the Tempest does come through
Let it rain and let me run
     in and through the puddles
as in when we were young
     Then let the puddles glow
in the light from the setting sun
     as a sun shower rainbow crosses the sky...
