Life

The green grass and delicate dandelions take a breath of relief, and the rose bushes relax in the cold, humid air. The icy rain had stopped just a few seconds prior, pelting relentlessly onto the beautiful, colorful meadow below. The deer scurried into the forest long before the thunder rumbled, sensing the lightning and destruction coming their way. Now, a few trees that once stood tall and proud lie broken and crushed on top of each other. Tiny chipmunks poke their heads out into the peaceful lull. The storm rolled away, leaving a few animals homeless. But it had also given the forest something else: Life.
