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.
