"Fleeting Apparitions" by Katrenia Busch
Day stolen by night
As the sun expires each day
Replaced by glimmering moonlight
As stars now light the way
Clouds that cry tears
Stolen by the sun's heat
As rain drops disappear
Victim to the sun's defeat
Leaves that clothe trees
As they fluctuate and sway
Dancing in the wind gracefully
Exchanged for winter, tossed away
Replaced by snow, time un-delayed
Snowflakes robbed of life
As warm climate leisurely arrives
To calmly fall from above
The star studded, frosty sky
Tumbling downward, an redundant ease to occupy
Dwindling plummeting to perish an established demise
Wrathful and howling thunder heard
Rumbling echoes violently
Lightning striking captured
Without limits or boundaries
Forming an electrifying and radiating light
Lightning glows as it releases a jolting strike
lightning volt's that fill the gloomy night skies
Replaced and stolen by the thunders howling cries
