I long for thunder
Thunder rolling in
The kind I can hear for an hour before the first raindrops fall
I long for thunder
Thunder that when it arrives the house shakes
The dog paces
And I think this is what the end will be like
I long for thunder
The flashing of light
The count down before the CRASH
The search for candles to replace electric lights
I long for thunder
It brings me back to my childhood
To my father telling me "it's all OK"
The comfort I have in knowing
It's much bigger than me
I long for thunder
But alass. It is winter and the rain that comes
Only brings wind, icey pings, and the sound of the heater kicking up
I may long for thunder
But today I'll face the cold rain
Knowing that I'm fortunate enought to have a warm house for retreat
And it is still bigger than me
Steve Johnson
