Rope The Thunder, Ride The Lightning

  

Distant rumble

Undeniable anticipation

Feeling it shake

The solid ground

I firmly stand on.

 

Never losing grip

On the lasso

Holding tight

To bring it back

Enjoying the challenge

To fence it in.

 

I’M ROPING THE THUNDER

TO KEEP MY HEART BEATING.

 

Raise my hands

To bring on the challenge

Embracing the strike

Electrifying my bones

That holds me like a rock.

 

Still locked in tight

High up in this saddle

With firm grip

Moving in harmony

Feeling the satisfaction

In keeping stride.

 

I’M RIDING THE LIGHTNING

TO KEEP MY SOUL SHINING.

This is an interesting and positive write! It shows that eventhough thunder and lightning can be a challenge and in my humble opinion extremely terrifying... one can handle it and keep moving foward!
Making it through the challenge... yet strong enough to keep the soul shining!

Fabulous ink!
