In the Distance

 

 

The smell of rain diffusing

Slightly hinting to the air

But if I shirk my pondering

I forget it's even there

 

The sound of distant thunder

Prone to pester, nags my ear

But I pay no more mind to it

Than I have all these years

 

The sudden lightning crashes

Ripping holes across the sky

A clear, severe reminder

This storm simply won't subside
