Lightening illuminating the sky It’s beautiful yet gives a fright Going to shut off my pc Hoping it won’t shock me Thundering a sound that booms Effecting me jumping across room Neon night with rain in tow I wonder about the birds are they cold Not one bird complains for God takes care of them I’m sure...

Along With The Thunder
It wasn’t the lightning that split me-- it was the silence that came before. That breathless hush like the world holding its tongue right before it screams. I have learned to count the seconds between betrayal and the crack-- the flash of what you did, and the roar of who I became. Don’t tell me to be soft in this storm. I was soft when I begged, when I bled...

Premium Member Biting Rain
Rain is biting the building’s raspberry roof Making a meal hard like a cold blue tooth And the wind blows yes hear it wail A lone leaf floats like a boat with a sail Lightening strike as if bowling Knocking down pins some rolling Striking tree tops even some poles Hitting some crops even some souls You can survive lightning strike Just the...

The Little Girl who learned to love Lightening
When Gabriella was 5 there was a terrifying storm. She woke up and screamed as loud as she could. No-one answered so she ran into her parent’s bedroom. Her Mother and Father were hiding under the bed. Gabriella crawled under the bed with them. All night the lightening crashed and seemed to be very close to their house. Some thing strange...

Premium Member Falling like lightening
From the clay moulded into being a substance Intoxicating spirit born free with moral choice intact inside the living waters breathes with life salt based unto moving forms crying for love unconditional pearls drop Where it begins shape shifting vices around desires to kill Through a fire's ash with smouldering embers in all that remains...

Premium Member balls of lightning
balls of lightning scrape the darkness off my bedroom window desert hills illuminated thundering growls of a grumpy giant rumble through the night while my pillow squishes against my chest like you loud huffs and puffs scatter twigs, leaves and dust across the concrete sky's all swollen up and the earth pants in anticipation bucking to meet the clouds ravished trees rustle thirsty for so long dry blades of grass stand so...

I saw hope dance through lightening
An eerie glow swallows up the sun as our men lie wounded, Brass against iron, loud clanks of armor, and the glorious hymn of victory, Today we are knights, and our bodies float above the crushing tides of lamentation, So don’t you look down at me, and remember my name every time you glare, Because we are knights, and...

Premium Member Out My Window
Leaves, rustling on summer, in June Leaves, wishing for fireflies, in tune Rain falling, reflecting God’s grace Rain stirring hope with its embrace Leaves, on the ground, silent and sure Leaves wistful, laughing, so demure Rain dripping love you won’t erase Rain stirring hope with its embrace Leaves, swaying with the breeze, gusty Leaves dancing like earth’s not dusty Rain and snow, storms for hearts...

Weather They'Re Right Or Not
A storm blew over, brightening the town with fast, white, lightening. Their weatherman was wrong the “clear skies” were gone. All in all, it was quite frightening....
