Nature reacts to the storms

A chapter in the book Wonder

Thunderstorms

by Michelle D. Carr

The lightning shoots a blaze.

Harbinger of thunder.

Until the next sky flash.

Numbers counted…one…two…

Distance in miles now known.

Each creature runs to hide.

Reeling from the loud sounds.

 

Shaken by nature’s deadly gunshots,

Trembling animals run in circles

Or huddle under bushes and trees.

Returning calm is seen with the sun

Marking a new beginning of calm,

Sanity…safety… and a new day.
