Storms

For all to hear and all to see
 thunder and lighting glistening at me
marbles of water bounce off the roof
vanishing magically but there not to see

the animals hide from it's presence
hoping to be safe under protection 
as the giant stomps it's feet
and Edison's light bulb flares

No one sees but clouds before
and clouds gather after
the only evidence of this terrible rage
lies under the ground, and atop the roof

Some catch it's content's
and some measure it's times
but no one is brave enough to go in

the only thing sound is the blanket atop me
keeping me warm and safe from the cold

once the rages over the world quiets 
as if its waiting for the monster to come back
for the giant to stomp once again
and for Edison's lightbulb to go out
for all to become noisy
but alas it never does
