Thunderstorm

Poems 1 Minute

I fell asleep to the sound of thunder and rain last night. It was blissful…

Through the veil of my eyelids

Flashes of blue light seep through

My body tenses while waiting for the thunder to follow

The rolling sound comes nearer until finally

A loud crack shakes through the sky

Then a blanket of rain begins to fall

Soaking the earth, soaking my soul

The soothing sound rocks me to sleep

Nature sings her lullaby

And I listen like a child

While wrapped in my summer quilt

Mother Nature nurtures my senses

Until I give in to a heavy slumber

I love writing. It’s what keeps me grounded. I received my first journal at seven years of age and have been writing ever since. Other things I love doing are caring for my sons Jacob and Joshua, crocheting, cooking, baking, and listening to music.
