Thunder

When there is thunder. There's a sudden moment of awareness.  Sound and light created from a pool of electro-chemical charge dispersed over the clouds.  The connection between electricity and light is evident. We re-discover the bulb, heat and light generated from a tungsten filament encased in a non reactive environment.  


Thunder and light 
Before a cloudy dim 
Whispers of wind 
Whenever you think of him  

Drops of water 
Lashing to the ground 
Puddles of horror 
For an unprepared crowd   

Though he sits and wonders  
Of many dreams and perils 
When movement made sacrifice  
And sacrifice made purpose  

Lights and a vision 
Thoughts are left to be prepared 
Thunder in the ear with incision  
The symphony is awakened   

A bulb drops on a floor 
Shattering with a sound  
Resonating with thunder 
The experience, profound.  

What would life be 
If the brilliance among 
light, sound, perception and emotion  
Be the music of their very own symphony  

Thunder strikes again 
An epiphany at last  
The moment has passed  
Time for trains alas
