The Thunder Clouds Are Rolling In...

The thunder clouds are rolling in
Midday sky as dark as night
Goosebumps prickle across my skin

It’s now as dark as sin
From the rapidly fading light
The thunder clouds are rolling in

I wish the rain would just begin
And relieve some of my fright
Goosebumps prickle across my skin

I feel the flutter deep within
It fills me with delight
The thunder clouds are rolling in

Oh dear rain, where have you been
I wished for you with all my might
Goosebumps prickle across my skin

Now everything will be alright
I’m so happy I could spin
The thunder clouds are rolling in
Goosebumps prickle across my skin

yes! Tirzah! I believe in the negative eons that emit from thunder and water splitting on impact... often, I sit by waterfalls, natural and mandmade to breathe in that highly oxygenated air, energizing my mind! good work! jimbo
