Raison

I wonder if I unleashed Pandora for myself.
boredom of living in a small town is real.
I’ve endured strikes of lightening bolts
withstood the weight of the ocean
and bled thousands of cuts by the others.
through it all, I brew one soul, one heart.
yet I wonder, what is the meaning of all this?
why go through such inglorious, tedious path?
perhaps, it is the path that I must take.
raison d’être. c’est toute.

Flash

Rain drips from the dark cloudy night, starting a monologue of a stoic gloom.

Suddenly, a flash — a thin silver lightening dashing across the night — brightens, albeit momentarily.

Who is the person that received the lightening?

Whoever it was,

Faced the hot, electrifying volcanic energy

Grappled with its fractious momentum,

I wonder if they had a good fight worth wagering their life.

Thunderstorm

Electric shriek rips through the air

As a lightening bolt streams through grey clouds covering in waves the vast sky

Slapping the eardrums of the dumfounded,

Awakes, inspires, and awes the new eyes

Breathing a vision, a belief, it’s now clear

That it’s a leap of faith,

To ride on the lightening bolt.
