oh how i love big thunderstorms
the whole sky lights up for a few moments
the rain sprinkles and taps upon my window
the wind whooshes and howls
the thunder pierces through me heart
thunderstorms always remind me of being a child
summer nights when heat lightning struck
and cracked through the sky
my uncle larry was over, we sat in lawn chairs
with the garage door wide open
the sky, our movie screen
counting the seconds the bullets lit up the sky
to tell how far away they were from us
summer days
all alone
rain pouring down
windows wide open
humidity in the air
still, calm
the rain makes most people sad, dreary, tired
it is beautiful to me
like angels crying, the world is cleansed
i feel the droplet of water, falling on my skin
i stand, head tilted upward, arms outstretched
rejuvenating, majestic, spiritual, lovely
uh Brooke. we are one and the same. you said exactly how i feel, but it was so much more beautiful than i could have. i love this. and you.
