tree sky cloud


by walter w johnson iii



a man sat under a tree
because it was meant to be

the sky was blue
it was meant to be too

a cloud appeared
just as the man feared

the cloud turned gray
that was its way

rain fell from the cloud
and got loud

lightning hit a branch
which did not have a chance

the man walked away
with nothing to say

the tree is there still
on the side of the hill

the rain returns periodically
as the tree laughs idiotically

a rock beside the tree
smiles knowingly
