As I sat, phone in hand

I contemplated who to call

But the sound of the thunder stopped me

The lightning, it intrigued me,

And the rain, hitting my face

Soothed that ache that was present

And all other presence, whom ever it be

Whom ever I would have called

Didn’t exist

It was me, and nature

So I sat there and admired,

Admired each drop, every strike,

And Of course every roar the sky let out

I counted the seconds between

The moment the light seen my eyes

And the thunder met my ears

Just as my father did when I was young

5, 6, 7, 7 miles away

Closer than I thought, I thought to myself

And the scent, it was so pleasant,

And everything, just felt so free

So pure, so natural

As if all indecent structures, persons,

Just didn’t exist

It was life, and nature

Something so simple, yet extravagant

Though few take time to see the beauty in its all

In its whole

Yet that split second of light

Gives me all I could want to see in life

All that should be needed

 So that bass tone rumble

Is more than music to my ears

And that rain

Cleanses me in my entirety

As nothing ever could

For all we need is simplicity

The simplicity of nature

And all insignificant matters,

Materials and presences

Do not exist
