Dealing With Storms
Dealing With Storms
The lightning outside is
Far away and harmless
Like fireworks in the night
I safely watch from home
And chuckle with delight
The lightning outside is
Moving ever closer
I sense malignance now
Lurking behind thunder
Sweat breaks upon my brow
The lightning outside is
Inside my city’s walls
Flashes bright and blinding
No longer firecrackers
It’s jarring and grinding
The lightning outside is
Just outside my front porch
Challenging to ignore
It rocks my foundation
So, I opened the door
