By Slanted Light

I used to be terrified of lightning and storms when I was a kid. Now I can't wait for summer storms, when I can sit outside and watch the clouds roll in, listening to the distant thunder growing closer, watching for the first flash of lightning. And then the smell of rain on the roads...there's a word for it that I'm always forgetting.

*checks calendar* Dang. Still March.

And the lyricism...that's my absolute goal in life, to be able to write in a way that "sings." Right now most of my stuff kind of warbles off-key, but maybe someday... :)
