To Be Free

Hear the rain upon the window seal, See the flash of the lighting, Shutting my eyes to dream of Being that rain falling unto the soft soil below, Soaking into the ground flowing freely Throughout earth’s various underground destinations. Dreaming of being that lightning, Flashing so bright to light up the whole nighttime Sky, Striking down showing my Powerfulness letting it fade’ away with A ferocious bang leaving the ground shaking below me, Yes a dream it is to be that wonderful rain, Or be that magnificent lightning upon the dark blue sky. To wish to be every stormy night to come so I shalt know how it is, To become so free and let the world, see me for me.
