I AM THUNDER

I AM THUNDER

I am thunder, hear me and shake
My brother lightning summons me
I crack the sky and make birds fall
I am loud, yet I do not care at all
Many are shocked by my intensity
And the very ground may quake

In darkening skies of deepening grey 
Some can smell the ozone in the air
All know me as that clap of thunder
Those that do not, may still wonder
Transfixed, as they stand and stare
My sound, so reluctant to fade away
