The squirrles are scattering around
the birds aren't even making a sound
there is no wind
a storm is coming
the rain starts to hit
the window pane
the thunder starts to roar
up in the clouds
the wind picks up
and now there is lightning
flickering in the darkness of the house
the storm is here
it's just another storm
it's just another cloudy night
with nothing to do
but watch the lightning strike
to hear the thunder
up in the sky
I am just glad I'm not outside
getting drenched by the rain.
