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
