The lightning came like a curse
Fear gripped the earth
The lightning came like a curse
The lightning came like a curse
cracking the sky with sudden force
a jagged scar that tore the night
and left the world caught in its fright
No warning bell, no whispered sign
just fire split the dark in time
it struck the ground, it shook the air
and left behind a cold despair
The rain followed like broken glass
each drop a shard to cut and pass
the thunder roared without remorse
a wild, relentless, jagged course
We stood beneath the fractured sky
eyes wide with fear, no place to hide
and in that storm we understood
how close we live to fierce and good
The lightning came like a curse
but in its flash, the universe
revealed the edge of night and day
a moment caught, then swept away

This is quite the description of a severe thunderstorm you wrote about. Good job and I could see the storm.
