Is anyone else in love with thunderstorms? Does anyone else like the gentle drips before it begins, Like finger tips softly touching your skin Or the low rumbles before it starts And the dark sky low and full The rain comes, soft or hard, streams of water falling Puddles forming, all other noises seem to disappear It has captured your full attention Now you see a quick flash of lightening You count the seconds under your breath one Mississippitwo Mississippithree Mississippi Crash! or maybe its a Boom! All different noises. Never the same. My heart races every time I hear the low rumble Or the pitter patter of rain
