Storm

35 3 0
                                    

Lightning flashes through the sky

Lighting up the air

The sharp crack of thunder

Can be heard far and near.

The rain drums against the roof

And the forest's gentle canopy

As I watch the candle flicker

And tap my pen against the page.

The lights go out but I'm safe and warm

In my home sweet home

Nothing at all can reach me here,

Tucked under the covers.
