Thunderstorm

 

 

 

Meant to scare, to keep you from running outside

But there’s always someone who’s going to run

Who will look to the sky and wonder

If the lighting ever fell in love with the roaring thunder…

 

Running far down the street, pavement slick & wet

Hidden within the blackness of nighttime

Nothing but the echoing sound of rain pattering against rooftops

With the bright clash of lightening

Running and sliding and falling

 

Take my hand and skip this town

Runaway with me far away

Where the sky lights up and roars

 

Where the clouds lay waiting & the black hugs the sky

Somewhere over a fence and down a sand bank

Waves furious and pounding against the shore

 

Stand with me

Within a circle

That will never fade

That will still exist even when the rain stops

When the clouds break apart

After the thunder quiets

As the bursts of lightening fade

 

Stand with me

& watch the waves cease

Their deafening crashing

 

Everything slowly calming

Moonlight drifting through the breaking clouds

Stars glittering above like winking eyes

Your hand sliding into my own

Our circle never changing

Yet as everything within it is
