ALONG WITH THE THUNDER
Edward Ibeh's This Or That, Vol. 33 Contest...posted 21 May 25
[Verse 1]
Most folks flinch when the skies turn black,
Shut their doors, never once look back.
But I’ve always loved a storm’s bold rise,
The holy hush before the skies.
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ll stand barefoot on the porch alone,
Let lightning carve the clouds in stone.
Each drumbeat closer, wild and strong—
It’s more than weather... it’s a song.
[Chorus]
Thunder is a song sung in Heaven,
Notes too big for mortal ears.
While others run from what they’re given,
I wait in the rain without fear.
I hear whispers in the wind, applause inside my chest—
This is no storm, it’s a sacred breath.
[Verse 2]
I’ve watched it roll since I was young,
Spellbound by the echo and the tongue.
The beat builds up, then breaks like grace,
And I just smile and hold my place.
[Bridge]
There’s rhythm in the fury,
There’s truth in every flash—
Like angels striking chords
In some eternal, burning crash.
They’re not just clouds, they’re choirs of light,
And I was born to love the night.
[Final Chorus]
Thunder is a song sung in Heaven,
Too wild for words to tame.
I don’t just hear it—I believe it,
It knows my soul by name.
So let the rain fall down like praise,
I’ll raise my hands, I’ll never run—
This is a love song from the One.
[Outro / Tag]
Others fear and flee the storm...
But I listen—
Because I know thunder is a song.
