Veins Of Lightening
-
Lightening strikes a tree
Burning a few neighboring plants
Shocking plant life
Down to the roots
Like long lost twins finally reintroduced
So many questions
So much catching up
Did your mother used to kiss the sky
get evicted from a cumulus cloud
Did your father plant many seeds
Burying his past in the ground
Did he playfully call you sprout
Did she call your name with thunderous sounds
I knew one day we’d meet again
You looking like her I looking like him
So many questions
So much catching up
Your anvil shaped home
Me growing from the mud
Who knows when we’ll meet again
So, here let’s take a pic photosynthesizing
Because your type don’t like to strike twice
On the same horizon
Moms old, Pops old with miles of separation
Leaving it to us
To bridge the gap of reconciliation
Being the twin Veins Of Lightening
That we are
