Calm before and after

Drips trickle in
while awaiting the storm
Splashing and puddling
they dance with the leaves.
The blue sky leaves
the gray moves in
over the light that shines
from far beyond
where it is still.
Still, the storm has yet to arrive
The distance rumbles
and trees sway
and birds call
Call it the calm
the wind disagrees
singing through chimes
emergent chaos
Chaos passes by
debris remains
and all is still
Still, the storm has yet to arrive
