Thunder's Journey
There was no moon, no stars that night
to give the weary walker light.
Through the dark he slowly fumbled.
In the distance, thunder rumbled.
Hoping to reach the inn before
the rain came down, he hurried more.
In his rush, he slipped and stumbled.
Closer now, the thunder rumbled.
Headfirst he went into the ditch,
because the night was black as pitch.
Underfoot, the path had crumbled.
Overhead, the thunder rumbled.
The sky was split with light'ning streaks,
both rain and tears rolled down his cheeks.
By nature's wrath, he was humbled.
All around, the thunder rumbled.

Anyway - nice poem TREE - very original - kinda sad though I tend to wonder who is the object of the sadness: the moon or the weary traveler?
TY Lanaia!
