"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." ~ Dr. Seuss


Rain pours down
On the roof tonight
Not a sound
But that of the bullets in flight

 

Each one a resounding bell

Beating out a steady melody

That none can tell
But those who truly believe


Lightning flashes
Quick as a blink
Their echoing crashes
Streaking midnight blue with white ink

 

Thunder rumbles
Deep bass drum of the wind
Each bell stumbles
In the strength from within


They find their paths
And continue falling
Faster now, back to back
They hear the wind calling

 

The bells of rain pick up speed
Each breath of wind weaves in
Rising and falling like the sea
Every note piercing like a pin


Lighting crashes
Burning, blazing through the air
Thunder dashes
Out from its hidden lair

 

Most ponder what this was
But not us, you and me
No, we know it’s God’s Great Orchestra,
A beautiful symphony

I wrote this poem one night because there was a huge thunderstorm and I kept thinking of lines to describe the storm, so here it is!

This is beautiful. I just love it. It's so descriptive. My favorite line is: "Streaking midnight blue with white ink" Keep writing.
