NATURE Poem: Watching a Storm, by P. G. Lance

A thunderous night
A bolt of light
And for a blink
The sky was white

The spectacle
I watch in awe
But from inside
Under the straw

Another flash
Another crash
The raindrops wild
While out they lash

A force so sheer
It sounded near
And slowly up me
Creeps the fear

I’m feeling chilled
But still I’m thrilled
Now fully covered
By my quilt

When nature throws
Her fateful blows
I hide
But still enjoy the show
