It is no storm, for there is no rain,

we wonder if something is on the horizon.
As if this heat lightning is a prelude

of rain and thunder.
We will always wonder
what secrets the heat lightning holds.

And yet, like a young and innocent child,

As if this heat lightning is a prelude

We will always wonder

I love the shows put on by heat lightning. Where I live we get the fronts pushing down from the north and the fronts pushing up from the Gulf and it meets right over us. Many nights we have sat and watched it. Sometimes it is almost as beautiful as the lights of the Aurora Borealis.

I once lived in Florida, the lightening capitol of the world- and saw A LOT of heat lightening-
an awesome site it is:

"we wonder if something is on the horizon.
As if this heat lightning is a prelude
to a bigger and better symphony
of rain and thunder"

picturesque and lively few lines.. these

Oh! I like this! Heat lightning is extraordinary, isn't it? You've done well here in describing the atmosphere, the awe and the (I'd never put this word to it before but yes! it absolutely works...) secrets that lie in the dark just beyond the flashes. It - and this - is... an energizing experience.

Terrific write!

Seems like it would be nice to see.
I liked the part about "...a bigger and better symphony of rain and thunder."
Great write!
