the form of the storm

the form of the storm

a glutton for lightning

electric thought patterns

eloquent shocks to the synapse

knowledge is a storm

some absorb, live through it

and shine afterwards like an alternate sun

new ideas become the rainbow

and before they disappear

we take selfies of our discoveries

to prove eccentricities

are merited

the survivors always come out the other end

of the twister

a bit bent

but with newfound logic

and understanding of the beast...

It is about being open to change. We, humans, aren't always open to it. Great work, Jacob:):):)

thank you for your words, Pryde...

yes we aren't always open to it.

You have given a great accolade to the power of a thunderstorm. At the same time, you created; a get metaphor of how a storm of knowledge is the same. So much turmoil in each and when the synapses firing within the brain increases in intensity we are in a mind-storm. However, in the aftermath when we can smell or feel the ionized air without and within it refreshes our spirit and enlightens our soul. I really enjoyed your writing. Thanks for sharing it.

Well done.
