ThunderI In The Night

Missing image
Dark eerie storm clouds are rolling in,
the light of day seems to be fading away,
crackling thunder in the distant is flashing,
whitecaps are forming atop the swirling bay.

Vibrations clash with such rolling thunder,
the force splits trees as they fall and die,
steaks of white lightning creates friction ,
the house shakes from another bolt in the sky.

The moon has disappeared into the darkness,
huddling under the blankets  we shudder in fright,
the shadows on the windows look so frightening,
the wind is howling causing shivers in the night.

Leaves are rustling as they blow across the ground,
an old branch is tapping on the window  pane,
the sky opens up with a terrific downpour,
visibility disappears with sheets of rain.

The lightning is once again echoing in the distance,
the clouds are racing with the wind in the sky,
the rain has now turned to  trickling  raindrops,
the thunderstorm and it's fury is bidding good by.
