Lightning Strikes

Under the black sky of night

 deep rumblings of thunder

 heard in the distance

through torn clouds asunder

a pause in the darkness

 flashes of lightening is seen

racing across the entire sky

where silence had once been

white veins of electricity

sheer power brightens 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 !
