Rumbling Throught the Night
Lying here, eyes awake,
Embraced beneath the quilt,
Dark clouds forming in the sky,
Rumbling through the night.
Rain pitters and patters,
Hypnotising the brain,
Streaks of blue light
Dancing through the window pane,
Then demons echo with a roar,
Mentally counting
Every second between a flash and sound,
Calculating distance as the storm journeys far away
And I listen to the pitter-patter
The calming rain after the storm
Before drifting safely to my dreams.
