Why it thunders when it rains

We usually associate rain with cleansing; a washing of what once was and to start anew again. But it does not always thunder when it rains, so why does it sometimes thunder?

Thunder shakes the sky apart right before it rains, just like when some bad experiences shakes your inner being. The sound of it bellows through your body and frightens you, making you unsure of yourself and what might happen in the future.

And just when you think that you can't handle the noise anymore, it starts to pour. The rain that comes with thunder is so profound; big raindrops that soak the earth, and wash away the dirt from your soul. You ever just stand in the rain and let the drops embrace you? All the problems from your past, the worries, and the stress are rinsed away from head to toe and the memories flow down the block, into a stormdrain and are lost along with everyone else's thoughts.

After the storm, everything is calm again. The last of the rain drops from the leaves and the air shortly left with a fresh scent of renew. Your soul is new again, even just for a little while.
