for thunderstorms

For those who open their curtains
on rainy nights,
and stare out
into the pink-tinged clouds,
and dream
of dancing

on their decks.

For the double flash of light,
and the people who are missing it
for parents who know better
than their children
and for their children
who disobey them.

For the light at night,
bringing hope,
and for the people who stare up at it

and feel nothing.
