There goes the Thunder again 

Shaking every wall in the would

Placing cracks in foundations

There goes the Thunder again

this time lightening strikes

no fire was seen 

yet abundant are the ashes

There goes the thunder again 

dark skies

strong winds heavily hissing hatred 

an invisible force bringing vast internal damage

to trees that show no external scars

There goes the thunder again

while the thought that plagues the mind is, 

Where is the sun?

The author's comments:

For those who grew up in homes where your parents argue, this is for you. With slamming doors mimicking the sound of thunder, one day your sun will come.
