Thunder Storms

I wrote this last night while I sat on the verandah and watched the storm thunder overhead

I sit amongst the weather
And feel it ensnare my senses-
The rumble of the electric sky
Bleaches the horizons with flashes
almost like memories
Reminds me that we all have a place
In the majesty of the universe

I have never seen the hills
Quite as clearly as I do now
The wind and rain chills me
But I would rather feel
Than to perceive through glass safehouses
For the first time in years I feel alive

The Clouds announce their prominence;
The Wind blows stronger
As the Rain steadily increases
Yet I remain unmoved.
The Lightening Strikes to the East
And I will live inside no more
