split the sky

@astralphoenix's poetry train round 2 prompt: A poem about a type of weather

it's morning

it's morning but the light isn't there

it's morning but the light isn't there lost behind the darkening clouds

it's morning but the light isn't there lost behind the darkening clouds faint in freezing air

it's noon

it's noon thunder rumbles up high

it's noon thunder rumbles up high claps that hurt my weary ears

it's noon thunder rumbles up high claps that hurt my weary ears lighting splits the sky

it's afternoon

it's afternoon the ants are hiding away

it's afternoon the ants are hiding away behavior mimicking sunlight

it's afternoon the ants are hiding away behavior mimicking sunlight still kept at bay

it's evening

it's evening droplets pouring like tears

it's evening droplets pouring like tears still no sunlight at all today

it's evening droplets pouring like tears still no sunlight at all today fire quenched in soaking flares

it's midnight

it's midnight the darkness outside drizzling still

it's midnight the darkness outside drizzling still i lay awake in nightmares

it's midnight the darkness outside drizzling still i lay awake in nightmares perhaps the sun has been killed

it's morning again

it's morning again but the storm, oh, it's gone

it's morning again but the storm, oh, it's gone the rainbow sits like a waiting path

it's morning again but the storm, oh, it's gone the rainbow sits like a waiting path a path towards a sunlit dawn
