Tonight the floor and walls tremble
with the magnificent audacity
of natures night time symphony-
the thunderous roar of lightning
And the rain comes to wash
away our sin and replenish
our already heaving rivers and lakes
It sounds daunting, yet it calms
The lights flicker on and off
reminding us of our need for electricity
yet it would be worth a night
of flashlights and candles,
if this storm brought us back
to being more human, less digitalized
then I welcome each lightning strike
in this harmonized night time symphony
