The loud roar of thunder
Rings in my ears
A jolt of electricity
Comes hurtling down from the sky
I lay shivering under my covers
Scared of the loud noises
Another bang
Slowly, I swing my feet off the bed
And walk towards the window
The clouds are crackling angrily
Electricity sparkling off them
Stormy and dark
But the lightning makes it brighter
Flickering into existence
Only to disappear a second later
I stand, hypnotized
Mesmerized by the sight
All fear forgotten
And from that day
I know
Never to fear thunder storms
