see the wind in the trees they are restless
branches wave signal flags storm is coming
graceful trees dance and swing in their greenness
whistling winds hear them soar wailing trumpets
downpour drives deluge drums cymbals crashing
blessed storm beast so wild bestows wellness
falling rain washes leaves shining satin
cleansed of dead clinging weak earth is nourished
hard wind halts air so still drip drip dripping
parting storm streams beyond cloud break sunburst
distant drums rainbow tints dyeing dying
sturdy trees stand renewed forest healthy
see the wind in the trees they are restless
branches wave signal flags storm is coming
graceful trees dance and swing in their greenness
whistling winds hear them soar wailing trumpets
downpour drives deluge drums cymbals crashing
blessed storm beast so wild bestows wellness
falling rain washes leaves shining satin
cleansed of dead clinging weak earth is nourished
hard wind halts air so still drip drip dripping
parting storm streams beyond cloud break sunburst
distant drums rainbow tints dyeing dying
sturdy trees stand renewed forest healthy
