Don’t be afraid, little one;
It’s only thousands of volts of electricity
Far off from the city
Sending rumbles tumbling toward

Don’t be afraid, little one;
It’s only millions of volts of electricity
Lighting the sky so pretty
Flashing with slashing of the night.

Don’t be afraid, little one;
It’s only billions of volts of electricity
Swirling in the sky so windy
Thrashing and bashing with hail

It’s only trillions of volts of electricity,
Touching to flames the city
Cracking trees in half with a demons laugh
Drench with a flood of clear sky blood
Shaking the windows and the marrows
With out pity rolling through the city

Don’t be afraid, little one;
It’s only thousands of volts of electricity
Now far from the city
Sending rumbles tumbling from
It going now.

Well, I think you've given me a new perspective on incoming storms, Professor. How many times I've crooned to my trembling dog beneath the bed ... It's OK, It's OK.

Maybe she does know better as you've so vividly portrayed ... I enjoyed this, well done!

Best wishes,
/Kit

Thank you, Kit McCallum,
Most storms don’t or haven’t bothered him,
But last night a particularly strong storm blew through
And many close strikes unnerved the feline.
He was still in the basement when I left this morning.
Pleased you enjoyed

Thank you, passing shadows
Glad you liked

Professor,
   You're so right-all the comforting in the world wouldn't hide the truth.  Voltage is voltage! Vibrations, vibrations...  I enjoyed connected feeling that went into this.   Have a great week.
