You were electrically charged

Swift bolts of jagged edges

Held up by clouds, but you,

You couldn’t be contained

Too powerful to be harnessed

Too fiery to be claimed

As the gods of thunder roared

And the battle pursued

You fought til the end

Quietly making your way

Across the blackened skies

A rumble pierced the quiet
The sound began to grow
I knew exactly what was coming
A storm crept in, ever so slow

Louder, as the raindrops fell
Accompanied by such clatter
The sound man had the volume up
I was afraid the glass would shatter

Still I sat there watching
As the sky lit up, rather jagged
I waited by the window
Another bolt of lightning, staggered

Playing with the land below
The clouds released their heat
The spectacle above my head
Was quite the incredible feat

Still, as slowly as it settled in
It departed twice as fast
With a gentle rolling thunder
The storm was calm, at last

Another rumble pierces the quiet

The start of another raucous riot

Thunderous sounds, lightning flashing

Clouds open up, rain falls, thrashing

Pummeling nature, impeding paradise

Flowers lay fallen, a cruel sacrifice

Through open curtains, I see it unfold

Watching as skies become uncontrolled

Then my eyes grow heavy, to stay awake I must fight

Til I fall asleep, to the sound of the rain, in the night

I let my arms fly open, feel the rain wash over me

My eyes, watching, as shadows cross the night sky

And once again, I find myself embracing the storm

A sigh, deep at night

Echoes the glory, Heaven

Is God’s spoken word
