Analysis of Weather Senses



The sight of lightning
Penmanship of the divine
Decipher the scrawl

The sound of thunder
Vibrations of the divine
Listen to the growl

The fresh smell of rain
Nurturing from the divine
Reap bountiful crops

The cold taste of snow
Tongue tickler from the divine
Savor every flake

The brisk feel of wind
Whistling breath of the divine
Respond to the touch
