Thunderstorms
A roaring fire warms the candlelit room
Down filled blanket covers the floor
Half empty wine glasses rest easy
Thunder rolls louder and louder
Tears well in the fear stricken eyes
A gentle embrace to ensure security
Lips softly pressed together for reassurances
Goosebumps overwhelm the exposed flesh
The desire for snuggling close
Becomes stronger with each crack of lightening
Tears intensify as slight fear turns to terror
Curtains drawn tightly closed
Yet still the lightening intrudes
Screams echo in the house’s silence
The adult turns into the weeping child
Pleading for its ending
The thunder rolls as if angered by the pleads
With a final mighty crack of lightening
The skies open up to a torrential rain
Dousing the earth with its life-giving moisture
The thunder and lightening cease
As if commanded by the clouds
Another thunderstorm passes by
The season almost at its end
Fears subside a little more each time
One day gone for good
Till then there are always teddy bears!
