thunder coos me to sleep,

the rain drops wash away

my worries of the day,

they melt over me.

oh to be outside in this storm

for this is the first storm i have braved

without you,

and i feel easy knowing it won't be the last.

for you made me terrified of

the goddess that is mother nature

but now as i lay in my bed, listening

to her side of the story,

smelling the scent of the lavender she

grew for me, i now regret for ever being
