In Fear of the Thunder

In Fear of the Thunder
David  J Walker

Come to think of it
We have not heard the sound of thunder
Rumble through the country in 
the long time found in the
passing by
Nor seen streaks of lightning strike 
The ground, the sound of thunder 
Parting sky

Come to think of it
The ponds and playa lakes 
Are cracked and dry
The mills that catch the wind
Are standing still 
While distant clouds of
Lassitude forget to fly

Come to think of it 
The prayers for sunny days
Were prayed without a thought
For what or why
The rains must need come 

Accompanied by the lightning
	Even in fear of the thunder
