Storm

Rain, rain don’t go away.

I need to hide away inside.

I am afraid of light, of day,

For all it reveals and hides.

Wind, wind bring me the clouds,

And the solace of whistling sounds.

Blow the leaves up off the ground,

So they may dance as they fall down.

Clouds, clouds block out the light,

Give me a dim illusion of night.

Cover up the bright sky of day,

With a sanctuary of dark gray.

Lightning, Lightning light my way,

A blinding flash of shiny day.

A sudden shock of realization,

Within a second long duration.

Thunder, thunder not far behind,

Shake the house and clear my mind.

Rumble, roar and give me a start,

As though the sky were falling apart.

Storm, storm oh so frightening,

Rain, wind, thunder and lightening.

Sitting safe behind the window, watching,
