The Thunder Who Was Shy

When Boom whispered hello, every window slammed shut. He was born loud, a small thunder. The valley loved quiet things and soft rain.
So Boom held his thunder in tight. He watched the festival from behind the mountain. Even the fireworks got louder than him.
That night, the river rose in the dark. The wind whispered warnings but nobody woke. The little birds cried, but the village slept.
Only one voice was big enough tonight. Boom took the deepest breath of his life. His thunder rolled like love; lights came on.
Now the valley sleeps, guarded by his lullaby.
