I Wonder
When it’s the thunder,
Like a bystander,
I wonder,
If it’s a command,
Or just the surrender.
When it’s the lightning,
It’s brightening,
I wonder,
If it’s a threat,
Or just a flash of shining.
When it’s windy,
It’s flinty,
I wonder,
If it’s abiding,
Or just a little scanty.
When it’s the rain,
It’s chicane,
I wonder,
Is it to pour loose,
Or just to draw the rein.
For my love of nature,
All of these sightings are major,
They soothe my senses like non,
They are my perfect assuager.
