Rev. #3: Song of the Buoyant Spirits
Crying with joy,
buoyant spirits thrive; laughter rings out,
loud exclamations of freedom and victory
reverberate from sky to ground.
Crowned in cumulonimbus, the mosaic of earth is cleansed,
rinsed, bathed,
swathed by the clouds.
Oust, for a day, the parching sun!
Thunderstorms are gifts, you see:
rejuvenation for all canopied by the sky.
Rev. #2: Blessing in Disguise
Crying tears of joy,
noise of booming laughter and cheers ring out,
loud roars of freedom and victory
reverberating from sky to ground.
Round and revolving, the mosaic of earth is cleansed,
rinsed, bathed,
swathed by the clouds.
Oust, for a day, the parching sun!
Thunderstorms are gifts, you see:
rejuvenation for all canopied by the sky.

Rev. #1: To An Underappreciated Gift
Crying tears of joy,
noise of booming laughter and cheers ring out,
loud roars of freedom and victory
reverberating from sky to ground.
Round and revolving, the mosaic of Earth is cleansed,
rinsed, bathed,
swathed by the entrails of the clouds.
Oust, for a day, the parching sun!
Thunderstorms are gifts, you see:
rejuvenation, so palpable, that cascades from the sky.
