An evening of July, I was standing in front of a coffee shop, it was our first date. A date which was fixed by our parents. I was patiently waiting for you amidst the noise and chaos of cars and buses. I was thrilled to meet u, even after a hectic day in office like we all wait for the first rain of the season.
Few moments later, an auto stopped by splashing the clogged water. You stepped outside while arranging your salwar and removed your hairs from your face which was half curled and drenched in rain. With a flash of lightning I saw u for the first time and that very moment I fell for you...

Shango (Yoruba language: Ṣàngó, also known as Changó or Xangô in Latin America; and as Jakuta or Badé) is an Orisha, a deity in Yoruba religion. Genealogically speaking, Shango is a royal ancestor of the Yoruba as he was the third Alaafin of the Oyo Kingdom prior to his posthumous deitification. Shango has numerous manifestations, including Airá, Agodo, Afonja, Lubé, and Obomin. He is known for his powerful axe. He is considered to be one of the most powerful rulers that Yorubaland as ever produced.

Sango!
The god of thunder.
Fierce in mind and spirit.
Man no one could inherit.
If a lier swears in his name,
Would get stuck to death.
Sango!
The god of thunder.
Brass crown on his head,
Double axe in his hands, a symbol of dread.
Sango!
The god of thunder.
This eyes are burning fire
His strength are in his words, just ease.
A standing motto for justice.
Sango!
The god of thunder.
The heart of boiling gold of deed.
He's the joy for for which the innocent are freed.
Sango!
The god of thunder.
Only the evil doers at night
Face his merciless sight.
The wicked during the day ,
Are left speechless on what to say.
Sango!
The god of thunder.
Cast them beatings of lightning and thunderstruck.
There is no escape, for all evil is stuck.
Sango of rights in equality,
Dance to him in turns of virility.

It rained like never before,
Not that I remember all,
Heard droplets speaking,
Conversations long and short,
Seldom low and sometimes high,
Their words unfathomable,
But felt like an almost "bye",
The lightning struck,
Then I saw a silhouette on the wall,
Which looked like us,
But I knew mind's playing trick and all,
But how does one,
Forgets the pain,
Which always comes,
And comes when it rains!

Breech Journey
From God's breath of life in mum's womb,
An embryo was formed, a peculiar;
Head up, feet down, why didn't I turn?
I was conceived, received in wonder.
Did the thunder beings favor me?
Did lightning strikes when I was born?
I didn't choose nor did I plan this;
Did God thinks it's best for me?
Breech birth it was but not Caesarean
For I did come out of mum's birth canal;
Was I forced to do it or did I finally decide
To face the world with strange eyes?
Childhood years were not so pleasant
With all its drama, pain, and lessons;
An outcast in this exile, I bore
The weight of my life's purpose.
Darkness was fond of me, I adopted
The void, the depths, the fire, the storms;
My soul was battered, mind injured
From fighting foes and my violent demons.
Innocence torn like broken angel wings,
My wounds they turned into wisdom;
Obstacles bumped along the way, I fell;
Thank God, my Messiah caught me.
I came out fine, resilient, and able
With carefree, happy-go-lucky nature;
I withstood the serious blows and thrived;
God upheld me in the power of His might.
With all sobriety I focused on the race
By the grace of my Lord and Savior;
He shall finish in me until my last journey
And I shall dwell in His Presence forever.

Irrational Fear
The thunderous boom,
the rattling windows,
the vibrating ground.
A terrifying flash,
a horrendous sound.
barking dogs,
crying toddlers.
lightning strikes,
fire burns,
unbearable fear,
i shed a tear.
useless,
defenseless,
against a sound.
Thunder,
my enemy.
Thunder,
my abuser,
Thunder,
my fear.

It flashed for a second
He felt it for hours
She was never forgotten

Touch Of Rain
Touch of rain gentle when it fall on skin
Twinkling these colourless droplets imply
Welcoming comfort and vanish all pain
Like mom's lullaby, showering from high
With striking lightning and thunder from sky
To make plants and flowers smile with all might
It spin all over the ground without plight
Enticing smell of petrichor is pure
Heavenly aroma make heart feels light.
Droplets left on grass glisten and allure.

As I lie down beneath the twinkling stars
I wonder, how beautiful they are!
That uneven spread onto the darkest sky
Lighting the night, without a shy!
That spectacular spectrum of street lights
Empty roads in crave of night rides
The path softened by dew drops
Water pearls naturing the seed crops
That wet grass relaxing my bare feet
That wonderful sky becoming my bed sheet
I unwind myself as my senses rejuvenate
The sickness inside starts to abate
And I feel happy, I could see a new avatar
Few hours of gazing stars into the sky
I still wonder, how beautiful they are!
I still wonder, how beautiful they are!

Storm
Distant thunderclaps
Rolling clouds overhead
Sun enveloped in grey
Air thickens
Water patters down
Turns to liquid shrapnel
Zeus ignites the skies
People flee
Trees bow
Nature's power
Storm has arrived.
©james_taumas2 0The thunder and lightning
(A short story)
Once thunder and lightning had a fight,
Lighting argued he's the fastest, thunder thundered and said in concern "yes, I agree but you hit houses n shatter them! I might not have your power, I just scare people away so that they take shelter from the down pour!"
Lightning had to agree! Yes, it nodded in acceptance, sometimes power is not the thing that's required, humbleness wins hearts!

Sky Stone
As recognised by the philosophy of the Gongshi, accounts describe how Mi Fu bowed in worship to a particularly eye-catching stone
I have a piece of our earth I find so beautiful. A unique rock I unwittingly began to direct moments of adoration and relation, and in a way, devotion of my own.
It's a keenly striking piece of rock,
"Striking" a rather apt description of just how this rock is so inviting.
This rock was formed by the literal act of striking, too.
It's a Fulgarite; a hardened remnant of the meeting of sky, sand and stone immortalised by a short-lived strike of lightning.
The day this beloved piece was offered to me, before the owner gave it, before I knew it would ever be mine, he said the reaction, my awe and words, quite unexpected.
He and his friends watched me gasp out a barely-there: "Oh. My..." As I held it in my hands for the first time, so viscerally moved, I even cried , as over it's unique form my shiny-eyes intensely inspected.
I found that I hadn't even looked up once, I found myself captivated by its crevices and crazing.
The words that fell out without over my little down-turned shovel shaped bottom lip next, like lightning, just pure shocked my companion. All I could add was: "It's truly amazing!
"See this I find far more beautiful than any diamond! This is literally a lightning strike made eternal!" My before-subtle teardrops were now channels running down my cheeks.
A moment I'd never ancicipated then arrived. I couldn't believe how I felt inside when he nonchantly turned and said: "Take it. I have heaps! It's all yours! They'll be everywhere where I'm heading in a couple of weeks!
I visit this striking stone, this stone of striking often. I gaze upon it whenever I'm feeling confused, or afraid, or anything of the gravity beyond an average worry, any greater trouble.
I find peace in analysing it's surface with my eyes, certain parts you'd not noticed before catching you by surprise. To me this rock is epic. I'm so grateful that it found me, rather than to remain forever overlooked, as undiscovered rubble.
©thatgeekgirl8 2 1- soulfulstirrings Wow.. a beautiful narrative .. sometimes we bond with inanimate things in inexplicable ways .. they become our silent source of strength .
- raindropsoncacti @soulfulstirrings Thank you! Admit it was a very moving experience and I've only just learned of the different Chinese rock worship/Daoist principles so it is also very nice timing on a personal level

Storm
O storm
I fear you no more
Lightning striking
Thunder rolling
Wind blowing
Rain pouring
So
I won't stop
Storms comes
Storms go
I pray that God
Won't let the storm take me away
Simply said
Simply done

Eventhough it was a
lightning speed look from them
For me its a long Lasting happiness
©lunalight7 0 1Rain
Even clowns have their sad days,
Even the clouds shed tears down their face.
We call it "Rain" But it's their version of pain.
Why don't you look right out your window pane.
See,
They get pushed and shoved around by the Bully Wind,
It's weighing heavy now, their mind is full of sin,
Mental break down from all that brain storming,
Kids these days now say thunder is so boring...
But that's clouds roaring!
No that's the clouds crying. . .
That thunder you hear is the sound of young clouds dying.
The others mourn with lightning,
Little kids they're frightening,
But you still take rain for granted,
See,
Thunderstorms are cloud funerals,
But mankind thinks it's beautiful.
So next time you see rain falling down,
Just know it's something more than the usual.

(The First Rain)
.
The purple grey clouds
Advances through the sky.
The pre-shower thunder
Announces the first march.
The smell of rain amplifies the sensations,
As moist air permeates the ambience;
The young couples hold hand in hand.
As the breeze gusts through a funeral,
An old widower looks up to the overcast sky;
When it first rained.

And the water drop in her eyes

Thunder pays its respect
As the lighting sings its song.
The flash of its light, a dance of farewell.
Bright for a moment,
Then faded to dark.
The mourning of a family breaks the silence.
Death visits to take a lost soul.
Finality echoes through the household.
