Midnight Storm

Thunder rolls across the heavens

Sheets of lightning flash the skies

Rain comes pounding down on rooftops

As hazy sleep comes to my eyes

In the darkness, skies are brightened

Drops come tapping on window pane

Booming peals shake earth beneath

Pavements grow dark with heavy rain

Streetlamps are haloed misty beacons

Great Lake storm comes washing forth

The sheets of rain comes harder, quicker

Breeze comes mightily out of the north

Street signals glow, red and angry

Roads are barren, black, and slick

Clouds make dark night skies the darker

The air grows heavy, wet, and thick

Now the drops grow softer, gently

Thunder quiets and lightning cease

The storm is gone as it had come

Now this rain brings gentle peace

Tapping, drumming, I grow sleepy

Hypnotic rhythm sings magic spell

Now that storm has come and gone

All is safe and all is well
