i love thunder
“i love thunder it gets me like nothing else does
the way it breaks the silence and lights the world for a split second
it’s not the noise
it’s the interruption of nothing
the way everything pauses
just before the sky remembers how to speak
and then it happens
light where there was none
like the world blinking awake for a moment
i don’t love it because it destroys
or because it sounds like the end of something
i love it for the thrill
of quiet being shattered
and darkness forced to show its face
i love thunder
because it tears up the sky
just to reach the earth”
