Lightening

The thunder roared and the lightening flashed. The skies opened and down came liquid that trickled down the window I am leaning against

Rain

Even since I was a little boy I've always loved the rain

Or so I can remember

Last week I woke up in a hospital ward to people with strange faces

They expressed joy and excitement for my being awake

They thanked 'Jesus'

Do I know you, I questioned them and their face morphed into utter bewilderment

They begin to say that I must be joking

The man in white coat and something hanging loosely around his neck came and checked my vitals

He then scribbled on the paper that was clipped unto a board and tuned to the strange people

He told them that I have amnesia which is loss of memories but he is unsure if its permanent or temporary

The strange people who claimed that they are my family told me my name, date of birth,highschool I went to, even the college I just newly graduated from

Hoping that I would remember

So if whatever they are saying is true then I'm Lukas Graham, 23 born on October 5th

Lukas, huh
I had a feeling that my name was Oliver

I don't even know if I should believe them. What if they lost their son and then found one in resemblance to him?

They told me to pray to 'God' to help me retrieve my memories

Who is this 'God' and why should I pray to Him?

A lady among them who is my 'sister' said I love reading the Bible

The Bible, she said, is God's word
She said it talks about God's grace and love for mankind

She told me about Salvation that God offer for us when He sent His son to die for our sins

Strange

I don't remember believing in this God

I don't remember. . . anything

Blank

Lighting flashed again

I read somewhere that a Lighting bolt is 10 times hotter than the sun

Is it true? I don't know

I think I saw it in a public library

The people there recognize me calling me 'Lukas'

I wanted to remember but I couldn't

I didn't want to make them sad

So that is proof that I am Lukas Graham

And what about me believing in God?

Some people from the local church there called me, even offering a prayer to God to regain my memories

Its disheartening to see them cry

They really want me to remember

So do I

"God,If you are here, please help me regain my memories" I whispered

The rest of my 'family' were in the kitchen preparing supper

The thunder rolled in again with a very loud boom

The neighbour's dog next door was heard barking ferociously and then whimpering

The Lightening that came seem to tear the sky into two

Then the storm stopped

The clouds broke apart in a quick pace and sun beams streamed through

I felt and everlasting peace and close my eyes

And when I did...

I remembered
