My heart flutters as I look at the sky
The clouds are draped low, blue and black
I look at the radar and am plesantly surprised
that there is the potential for lightning filled skies
I grab my camera and run to my car
because according to the radar it isn't that far
The highway markings race by, as I try to make it in time
Finally I am there, not a moment to spare
Then it happens I hear the thunder roar
a fast moving storm is in store
quickly moving above, it heads right over
hanging high above. Then crackle, zap, pop,
lightning spreads like the roots of a tree,
lighting up the sky and trees magnificently
it sounds like the crack of a whip inches from your head
such a mystery of nature, some call it the source of life
I am there to see the show
and then to let everyone know
I capture each frame, I don't do it for the fame.
I love the beauty, and want everyone to see the same
