Thunder And Lightning Poem by Kevin Carney

The thunder and lightning…
Flashes illuminating the dark of the night…
Rumbles of the thunder shattering the solace of the darkness.
Eyes wide open, listening…
The rain and wind, the consistent roar…
I take it as a sign…
I see it as an omen…
Where I am at?
Looking out into the blackness of night.
Seeing the flashes of blinding light.... The horizon so distant, so unattainable…
The rumble of thunder…
Drowning out my shouts of fear and doubt…
