Madness of the Storm

The thunderstorm was loud and fierce 
And both my ears so it did pierce 
Sprays of rain this way and that 
Belted down in seconds flat 
Never easing up to let 
My mind wander and briefly forget 
The madness of the pouring rain 
The sound that made me so insane 
I wondered if it would ever change 
The storm would clear, clouds rearrange 
But I couldn't stop the thunder now 
And it grew all more pleasant, somehow 
I regarded it as what would be 
A sign of local society 
The lightning foes, the raindrops friends 
The thunder what all nature sends 
I see it now, it's all too clear 
To think that any of it became so dear 
The lights are out, the dark is in 
What wants to be told is held within.
