Lightning Strikes

When the lightning

strikes the sky

the little bird

spreads her wings again.

a storm is only

a small thing

on her list of things

to avoid.

the lightning strikes

guide her away

to a little hide out

where she is safe

and sound.

here, she can think

and try to 

remember 

what it was

that truly made her

happy

before she lost

her way

in the last storm

of lightning strikes.

perhaps finally here

in this little hideaway

she can find her

heart again

and try

to piece it together.

After the lightning strikes,

she can fly away again

to find that happy place

she used to know.
