Storm Front

The wind blows strongly across the dark night sky Lightning flashes through the air, brightens the land A storm approaches, fear comes from what’s implied The lightning and the rain sure is very grand As I stand out in the pouring rain I fear The storm clouds I see, they begin to appear Lightning comes ever increasingly to me Testament of willpower to stay and see

They can be pretty scary, Russell. You conveyed that fear but also mixed with the magnetic pull you felt to watch it!
