Applause of Thunder

A stormy poem.

The hum of lightning soaks the heavy air.
Playful rain drops lose their footing and fall
down, from soot covered clouds, tears of despair
The wind then moans its response, quelling all.

The slow trod of thunderous steps resound
heavy feet of a beast unseen, profound
are such thoughts these are of children or fools,
an eye unblinking watches silence rule.
