Thunder
By Pauline Harris
(*)
Pouring rain outside
Cracks of thunder
My mind went to wandering
Back to a childhood memory
We were discussing
What was the cause
Of thunder
God was bowling upstairs
Two or more entities
Were fighting and causing pain
Then someone turned to me
And said it was because
Of all those sinning
Staring straight at me
This person said it was my fault
And that there was no love
For anyone who sins
Nor any love for me
…
Some time passed before
I knew this statement
To be a lie
Damage was done
That relationship with that person gone
As my eyes and heart opened
To the love surrounding all
Each and every person
Yes some will still share hate
And hide behind the disguise
Instead of being compassionate
Moving forward
Stepping each step of love
Storms will pass
And life carries on
