I CAN HEAR THE POUNDING THUNDER

I CAN HEAR THE POUNDING THUNDER

A Poem by Robert Robbie Lord Dudley

FROM SOME CORNER OF THE SKY
WITH MOONLIGHT ON THE FOOT OF MY BED 
AND SO SOFT THE LINEN IS FRESH AIR
WHERE THE HEAD FLOWS FREE 
MY EYES HAVE SEEN OFF INTO THE DARK WATERS
NOT SO EASY OF THE STORM I FEEL AROUND ME 
A WHIRLWIND OF EXISTENCE BEYOND ME UPON
THE OTHER SIDE OF HORIZONS RAIN CAME RUSHING IN  
BEFORE CLOSING THE WINDOW
THAT KEEPS FROM DROWNING ME 

 
I CAN HEAR THE POUNDING THUNDER
I'M SURE WILL FLASH AGAIN
I CAN HEAR THE POUNDING THUNDER
I'M SURE WILL FLASH AGAIN
I CAN HEAR THE POUNDING THUNDER
I'M SURE WILL FLASH AGAIN
I CAN HEAR THE POUNDING THUNDER
I CAN STEAL THE POUNDING THUNDER
WAKING, SHAKING, BUT, NOT BRAKING IS AMAZING
TO SEEK APPROVAL BEFORE I DIE

 
FEELING WE'RE ATLEAST AT HOME AT LAST WHEREFORE 
MY HEART IS HERE INSIDE OF MY CHEST 
THE GOOD THOUGHTS THAT ARE EXPRESSED BENEATH COME
THE STARLIGHT I'M SURE WILL BE BRIGHT AGAIN
WOE! WHAT WAS THAT WEATHER JUST NOT IN HARMONY
THAT IS KNOWN SOMETHING HAD THROWN ME
A-PIECE COULD NOT IMAGINE AT THE THUNDER SO LOUD
THE HOUSE BEGAN TO UNHINGE THE SELF SUGGESTING SOMETHING
ON THE WAY MAY TURN FOR THE BETTER
ON THE WAY MAY TURN TO THE WORSE
PUSHING OUT INFORMATION THRU AS A STRONGER FORCE
TO THE CLOUDS OF WARMTH AND LIGHT
ARE A-STIRRING SPEACH AND AFAR FLUNG FIST A-WING TONIGHT INVISIBLE

 
I CAN HEAR THE POUNDING THUNDER
I'M SURE WILL FLASH AGAIN
I CAN HEAR THE POUNDING THUNDER
I'M SURE WILL FLASH AGAIN
I CAN HEAR THE POUNDING THUNDER
I'M SURE WILL FLASH AGAIN
I CAN HEAR THE POUNDING THUNDER
I CAN STEAL THE POUNDING THUNDER 
WAKING, SHAKING, BUT, NOT BRAKING IS AMAZING
TO SEEK NOW BEFOREHAND I IGNORE
