Lightening

Lightening

A Poem by Ahmad Cox

Lightening
by Ahmad Cox
Lightening strikes everywhere
It hits all of us just the same
Electric bolts of light
Descending from the heavens
And returning back again
Giving their light
Giving their power
Destructive light magnified
Electric energy manifested
In beautiful displays of power and destruction
Rolling through the sky
The clap of thunder
Announces their arrival
And announces their depart
As soon as they have come
They have left again
Leaving their ephemeral mark
Balance and equilibrium
Displayed in beautiful design
Lighting up the night sky
For us all to see
