Storm Dancer Storm dancer,    Taut in the lightning flash,, Leaps in the moment of the thunder crash,   Streaked by rain and the clouds' flame, In a windlash of motion flies again. From the shelter of a tree's boughs,   I watched the cartwheel of your dance, Watched you tumble and soar,   Straight as an arrow, supple as a willow lance       In the wild downpour. Watched as you flew the chance of an angry sky,   Your only music the winds cry, And turned the clouds fury into a song of dark laughter,       Rain beguiled, storm child
