Thundershowers

The peal of thunder
as they rattle the night sky
the cacophony of the hailstorm
as they pound on my tin roof
drown out all the voices
even the ones in my head
for a moment

The bolts of lightning
that lights up the night sky
the torrent of rain
that washes the ground clean
fills the air with fragrance
of the just scorched earth
overwhelming me

nature shows me both,
its fury
and its unabashed beauty
its strength and subtlety
fascinating and scaring me
at the same time

I can't tell,
the sky from the earth
they both sparkle
both washed clean.
