LIGHTNING STREAKS ACROSS THE SKY

Thunder rolls in the darkest of nights
Rain is falling on the soft ground

Through the noise is heard another sound

Leaves are sweeping in the wind
Limbs are breaking from the trees
Animals retreat for someplace warm
Away from this terrible storm

Through it all is still another sound
But you can’t hear it from the ground
For it is high above the clouds

Its horn is lighting its own way
As it seeks shelter from the rain

She is not alone this night

For others have joined her for this flight

They find a castle high above
Where the Lady stays alone
They land on her patio made of stone

The Pegacorns fly on when they dare
From this place from the lady fair

She sent them on a journey just before

Calling them back at the beginning of the storm

For on this night she needs them more
For she is alone in this storm

The lonely fairy in the castle tall
She grants the wishes of those young and old

Sending others of her kind sending Pegasus and Unicorn

But on this night she needs them the most
To be her shelter from the storm
