A distant thunder rumbles,
On a warm gentle night.
Through a soft drizzle of mist.
The sky flashes with light.

I savory the silence of the quiet eve.
As I watch the storm gather speed.
Drawing warm air into it's jaws.
It spews out judgement
Without a just cause.

Nothing can stop the rampant winds.
The rain slashes hard
As punishment begins.
Ripping across the land tonight.
Leaving behind a disastrous sight.

As I watch the furious storm,
I place my trust in the Almighty Lord.
In dawn of the morning
When I awake.
I see His protection
Has kept me safe.
