Hungry Thunder

Perspective

By Rowan Finley Published 6 years ago 1 min read

Rumbles, grumbles, speaks his mind

There is no corner or space that cannot find relief

until the pangs are tended, mended, and tamed

Fear strikes the heart of man and child alike

as hungry thunder partners with thirsty lightning

to dance a vicious dance, around and around

The storm in their stomachs flips and turns until finally

the dance has ended and all of creation peeks out from hiding

until the next dance may chance or declare a daring dual

Nourished at last, happy and full

Sleepy eyes can rest now

at least until tomorrow that is until the rumbles, grumbles speak again

sad poetry
