Electricity

wrote this in a Physics lecture

An electric haze on the horizon
brief connections of lightning
sky to ground, ground to sky
static in the air, a current flow
like copper
a taste of iron and blood
because electricity
only exists
around the wire and not within it.

I see the blue fog
and the glorious lights
of sparks and connection
meeting to create
a grand landscape
of dark then light,
clear then dim.           

Within that fog
I see shapes and figures,
silhouetted in vibrant intensity.
The Other Ones
who we cannot see
in natures pattern and
electricity.

Breathtaking—I love the description/imagery you used. I can kinda see the relation to physics as well. I can't quite tell why, but this poem really spoke to me, good job :)

I appreciate it! Mind sharing with me what you felt about it? I would really like to know :)

It feels like a mystery—what are "The Other Ones," I wonder? And the "electric haze" and "static" give me a thrill—the imagery of the lights and the current is, well, electrifying ;)
