Thunderstorm near the first day of spring

Sometimes the skies boil over
drenching the earth
saturating souls
washing the day clean
sparks of electricity
carry on conversations
all I can do is stare
stay up late
for the encore
that is tranquil and cool
a neighbor walks his dog
they walk underneath my balcony
"Did you enjoy the storm?" I asked
"LOved it,"he answers, "We have the door open."
They walk back up the stairs
and I am alone in the dark contented
