The Thunder Within

The Thunder Within

A Poem by Melinda McQueen

The Thunder Within

 

Abrupt clap,

Undeniable gap.

For where there’s silence,

Unfolds eerie impatience.

 

Flashes of light

Streak a dark, gloomy sky,

Stretching from end to end,

The thunder within.

 

Roaring the loudest

When the sky is in grey distress,

It groans and groans,

Making itself known.

 

Refusing to keep quiet,

Its will is not to quit,

But to be heard in a night lit.

The thunder within.

 

The heart groans

Of dreams untold.

It dares to bestow

Flashes of hope.


As the thunderous storm

Unleashes its glory and adorns

The dark sky with hopeful light,

So too, does the heart when dreams take flight.


Let faith roar

Until today’s dreams soar

Into tomorrow’s mightiest wind…

The thunder within.

I agree dear Melinda.
"As the thunderous storm
Unleashes its glory and adorns
The dark sky with hopeful light,
So too, does the heart when dreams take flight."

You are welcome dear Melinda.
A boost of hope
for some reason everything i have read today has so much of hope

This is really well done
I do believe it matters alot to see all forces of nature in good light
For the divine always brings to planet earth for good purpose
And i guess that makes all the difference

to see promise in it all

Bravo !!
