Thunder in the Rain

We humans always associate strong emotions with strong weather events.

Higher they loom,

the dark clouds sing

of foretold doom;

and the rains bring.

Cloud darkness hides

the forever blue.

The Earth abides

this lightning brew.

There is thunder,

in the rain.

I can't help wonder

who's to blame.

I keep trying

to go away

I keep flying

to another day.

I lost the fire

when I went away

lightning spired

into the clay.

There is thunder 

in the rain.

who will wonder

about my pain?

There is thunder

in the rain.

I won't wonder

who's to blame.

There is thunder...

in the rain.

' There is thunder, ~ in the rain.~ I can't help wonder ~ who's to blame.'

I've read this twice, Mark, and still unsure as to whether or not you're writing about storms.. which are so full of power and majesty in a way, or, if you're thinking of life's tearful, dark days that rock the heart and spirit of a person, makes him/her wonder if the reason for it is self. This is so deftly written, touches the heart. And the extraordinary picture is stark, still, dreary .. almost too appropriate.

I blame it on my Irish heritage. Lots of demons there on that side! Thanks for reading :)

I keep trying
to go away
I keep flying
to another day.

These are my favorite lines and must I say, I love how the skies above look just before a storm :) And the lines I presented above hold a lot of meaning to me. Like, we fight each day to find a way to get away from where we currently at, and we always just keep going on and fighting another day. Maybe we fight for a new day because maybe without making it to that next day, we could have missed out on a miracle, have met someone wish always dreamed of meeting...maybe even have the greatest day of our lives. We never know what each day may hold, just gotta keep pushing ourselves to go onto each day, starting with a new slate :) I loved this...simply beautiful!

Thank you so much. I love the idea of our next days being potential. Very positive. I try to always be positive about life.

I wonder was it written in April too? a very connected write to nature my friend, I like it how you amalgamate with it.... sublime writing style here.... it also feels it has indirectly a fixation, towards the real mood of the self- well done!

I'm not sure when it was written actually. I love thunder storms, so I write about them quite a bit. Thanks for stopping by :)

I love them too, with whole my heart, they have truly something magical... you're welcome :)

Me thinks there is more to this poem the associated emotion and weather. Who is to blame when there is thunder in the rain. Yep, I like.

Thanks hon. Glad you liked :)

I think you are saying something very deep, something is hidden, and sewn deep within you. You are not sure whether to emote with that which you are feeling.

wondering what provoked this, keep writing, maybe one day youll get better.
