Thunder.
A sound from which a man,
Deaf and dumb,
Cowers in fear.
A roar which makes
Walls stumble.
Faces freeze.
Animals cry.

Powerful it comes,
Bringing with it
The fearsome sparks of
Lightning
And the sorrowful falling of
Rain.
Together they bond
To conceive a creature.

A creature so fearsome.
A creature hiding behind
Thunderous facades
And electric gestures.
Yet, all the while,
So gentle,
With tears of rain,
That no one may fathom
Its true nature.

A lonesome soul,
Yearning to know this creature.
Wishing to walk in the downfall.
Wishing to feel the truth.
A caring soul,
Wishing to end the storm;
End the terror.

This soul
Attempts to breathe happiness
Into a creature so lost.
Instead, there, in the darkest clouds,
Is found
That all hope,
All wishes,
All dreams,
Must be abandoned.

The creature
Cannot be transformed.
The soul cannot save
What will forever be lost.
