Lightning
I feel the lighting in me,Flashing in my eyes.
I stand unpredictable,
An unstoppable stream of fire.
I hear the sky shatter beneath my power,
Light up with fear as I burn it.
Coming down to touch the Earth,
I feel it crack beneath me.
Lightning
I feel the lighting in me,The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
