Thunderstorm

Black clouds in the night sky
Wind blowing, whispering silently
Trees talking in the soundless night
Gazing upon the far away hints of light.
Flash of lightning coloring the black sky.

The world seems without a sound,
Just the lights showing their colors.
Yellow, orange, sometimes a hint of red.

Feeling the wind on my skin,
Smelling the nearing rain,
Enjoying the lightning show - as if it were meant only for me.
A moment of calmness - a moment of peace.

Noises from the near city are blended out
Even thunder is nowhere to be heard.
Hardships from the day are forgotten for the moment
- reality will come soon enough.
Just enjoy the time - the moment we have
