POETRY
Lightning Strikes My Heart and Soul
A response to prompt emotions paint nature
Lightning cutting through the darkened sky
edging closer as brontide
rumbles become the tune
of one hundred thousand snare drums
beating a sonic shock wave shaking me to the core,
buckling my knees,
hair stands up on the back of my neck
as the spine shivers;
my hands hasten to cover my ears
as if it will make a difference.
This never fails to draw excitement from my soul,
raw uncontrollable primordial energy
we have no way of harnessing.
I still have fear; it may just strike me
in one of life’s freak accidents.
Reaching for the camera to get that
one in a million perfect shot,
the one I can publish, get a wee prize for,
ah feck it, I will just take a lower quality movie,
pick a still and submit it here.
