And this I saw on a blue August day

And this I saw on a blue August day,
Leaves trembled to the feel of the gust.
Vivid gray clouds, I saw the lightning play.

Yes I stood there, watching the branches sway,
One side to the other, I stared with trust,
And this I saw on a blue August day.

Drops landed on my skin while I lay
And watched as the flashes danced with lust.
Vivid gray clouds, I saw the lightning play.

Swiftly the sun came out but did not stay,
Back inside it went, inside the clouds crust,
And this I saw on a blue August day.

Three one thousand, I heard the boy say
While the howling increased with disgust.
Vivid gray clouds, I saw the lightning play.

Louder and stronger with no delay
I heard the sounds with an absolute must.
And this I saw on a blue August day,
Vivid gray clouds, I saw the lightning play.
