Thunder In The Distance

by Kevin Sinclair

Storm clouds gather on the horizon
Looks like it is going to rain
It’s been so dry for so long now
Need water if life is to remain
The dust swirls and sticks in the throat
Wouldn’t it be nice to be wet and cold
Perhaps times are going to change
Moving from being meek to being bold.

Some of us live for the moment
Others are still stuck in the past
No time for some quiet reflection
To the winds our fate is cast
Just like a boat out on the ocean
Drifting where the current flows
Lost and lacking direction
Where they will end up who knows.

There is the sound of thunder in the distance
Lightening flashes lighting up the sky
Rain can be heard far away coming
Like tears that have to be cried
Healing only comes with time
But first one needs to acknowledge the pain
Then to be washed clean in the water
So that new life can be born again.
