The storm
The distant roars of thunder
 The heavens open with rain
 The slight wind rustling the trees
 Reminding of that storm again
 
 The flashes of quick lightning
 Lighting up the air
 The pitter-patter sound
 The storm that gave a scare
 
 The grey clouds rolling over
 Give no sign of any sun
 Wanting to run away
 The storm has again begun
 
 Ten thousand blades of piercing rain
 Fall from the heavy grey sky
 Only to hit me hard 
 And make me want to cry
 
 Ten minutes ago it was glorious
 The sun out and the sky blue
 But the power of nature is all around
 For now it is replaces by gloom
 
 The thunder and lightning come quick
 Rolling ever nearer
 The rain never ending
 Only seeming to get heavier
 
 Is it possible to be in the centre of a storm
 Where you see nothing but rain?
 Is it possible to relive that very moment
 Of thunder, lightning and rain?
 
 I am frozen in a park
 Soaked to the skin
 The memories flood back
 Oh how dark, gloomy and grim
 
 But you were there to shelter me
 To protect me, hold me close
 As water drips through my hair
 And dripped off the end of my nose
 
 You were my shelter
 From the piercing rain
 The blades, the flashes and roars
 My protector once again
