Excitement pulses through my veins
Akin to lightning flashing in the clouds
Energy radiates, power is evident
As hairs stand on end and skin tingles softly
The storm is building in all its majesty
Reaching towards a tremendous crescendo
Of proportions never seen before
Thunder roars, echoes and fades
To be more than matched by the next deep roll
Suddenly the sky breaks loose
Flashing, roaring, trembling even
Shredding the heavens in ribbons of light
Mingling distinctly with those of darkness
Such phenomenal power displayed with such grace
Like a dance of the gods in all their terror
Majestically soaring around and around
Yet in an instant they could deal out death
Suddenly silence
The night closes in and the vibrations cease
Yet the skin still and will always remember
The terror, the awe of that moment in time
