You were always tearing up the tree roots And lighting up the sky at night. Seemingly ravid in your destruction- You were striking down on Fools and geniuses alike. Something to write home about, Houses on fire and telephone poles Crashing through windows. What an awe inspiring sight. I imagine a world where you make no sound- I cannot reconcile with it,I was there beside you. Shattering houses and Littering branches across the ground. I let the world know your glory With every breath i could find, Waking slumbering babies with a fright. If you were lightning- A bright flash of purpose- Then i swear i would have been Thundering forever. I wanted To vibrate your beauty Out into the universe. I wanted To let it be known that you were strong. I wanted to be the sound you made. I wanted to be the seconds in between. The miles that stretched Between fear and praise. But then the clouds cleared And either you became tired Or lost your spite. And I no longer Found the purple light That painted the skies. No more Was there a song for me to sing I could not find the words- The epic poem that you Seemed to deserve. So i handed my voice to the rain. I let it wash us away, you and I We made way, we let the storm Move out. You did not want For me to bring on the day. But I fell for the sun- And now I am but a rooster On a farm somewhere In Arizona. I used to be thunder, Tell electricity it was nice to know her.

Lightning and his lover, thunder
You were always tearing up the tree roots And lighting up the sky at night. Seemingly ravid in your destruction- You were striking down on Fools and geniuses alike. Something to write home about, Houses on fire and telephone poles Crashing through windows. What an awe inspiring sight. I imagine a world where you make no sound- I cannot reconcile with it,I was there beside you. Shattering houses and Littering branches across the ground. I let the world know your glory With every breath i could find, Waking slumbering babies with a fright. If you were lightning- A bright flash of purpose- Then i swear i would have been Thundering forever. I wanted To vibrate your beauty Out into the universe. I wanted To let it be known that you were strong. I wanted to be the sound you made. I wanted to be the seconds in between. The miles that stretched Between fear and praise. But then the clouds cleared And either you became tired Or lost your spite. And I no longer Found the purple light That painted the skies. No more Was there a song for me to sing I could not find the words- The epic poem that you Seemed to deserve. So i handed my voice to the rain. I let it wash us away, you and I We made way, we let the storm Move out. You did not want For me to bring on the day. But I fell for the sun- And now I am but a rooster On a farm somewhere In Arizona. I used to be thunder, Tell electricity it was nice to know her.
