When (2)

the lightning strikes,

my body

is ready.

THIS

she screams,

this this this.

I burst into a thousand

stars.

Broken, torn,

and in that moment

perfectly whole.

Words escape

me

as a torrent of 

emotion rushes

in.

At once I am weak,

completely at

your mercy

and

powerful,

beyond my wildest

imaginings.

THIS

as the thunder

subsides,

and peace finds

me

in the

quiet folds

of your

loving arms.
