Lightening Strikes

Under the black sky of night

a deep rumbling of thunder

is heard from nowhere

ripping the air to plunder

after a pause in the darkness

a flash of lightening is seen

racing across the entire sky

where silence had once been

white veins of electricity

sheer power across the sky

lighting up the landscape

after Thunder is heard to cry

the stage is set for the show

as Thunder sings their song

and Lightening illuminates

as we the audience look on !
