It is raining out there,

The lightning flashes across the dark sky,

Thunder growls and the wind knocks lightly,

There is a whole universe of activity outside.

Inside, I sit with a lamp flickering,

 Inside I am silent Only my breath flickers,

 I shall wait till the home bulbs burst into life again,

Now all is still. Inside and outside.

The rain it was that drove me inwards,

 While there was a scurry of activity outside,

 With lightning flashes and mild thunder ,

And the wind knocking lightly against the closed windows.

I sat and waited for the storm to pass.

And now I feel washed and pure inside and outside.
