The Thunder Being  by  Jim TwoFeathers Once when I young you chose me and struck.....near. With  that noise and flash and shock......I ran in fear. Over the years I have come to know you, the power you give and the part you play. And I know you'll protect me when I call... most any day. But I still remember your waking call and will always...stand in aw You struck near..so very near. My Spirit and feet were sit upon the path that day Little then did I know which direction that lay. Sometimes I fell, sometimes  I faltered and felt my direction should be altered But from this time and place...I see clear There was no other way to get here You struck near..so very near! You struck near ..so very near!
