Thunder in the storm
without light without sound
in the distance it lingers
strong
Soon it will be all over me
around me and inside
creating feeling through its natural intimidation
warnings aren't enough
for this formation
Falling from the sky
the bolts the drops the fear
invokes the inner spirit doesn't it
and transfers upon the victim
a sense of discomfort
Bring it will
a display all its own
a persona of abandoned home
and a ferocity like an animal
beaten and disowned
It passes freely over the land
like an ogre without direction
this beast is bent on destruction
this formation IS
After the show
when its fury is spent
it will leave
just as it entered
with fear and curiostity
it will leave
untamed and adored
this beautiful enemy is ours
and it is called the storm
Thunder in the lightning
without light and without sound
here comes the curiosity
all the warnings are put out
so strap it all down people
mesocyclone baby
is coming to town
