Lightning

Lightning
One... Two... Three... Four....
A rumble..... Then a silence...
The rain didn't count as a sound in this storm too
It's falling drops were gentle, against this sky made without blue

One... Two... Three....
The rumble.... A clap.....
Why is the rumble thunder, while the clap belongs to light?
It's not fair to be put under that which darkness cannot fight.

The light seems always distant, yet by sound is not thus deemed
How do they play with one another, different waves of different kinds?
Oh how life's greatest secrets, elude our greatest-

Yet light's attractive when it's there, a bolt of it can't hurt

One... .... ..Two....
Thunder....
The bliss that comes from distance, the bliss that comes 'fore sun
Why I was just beginning to worry, good thing I stayed and am not done!
Oh the fools that say to run, oh the fools that won't come nigh
Just because there's danger doesn't guarantee I'll-
