Thunder booms downward
A boy gazes skyward.
Beholding the monster upward.
Absorbing the beauty heavenward.
As Lightning burns the sky
For just a split moment,
Horror aflame, inside his eyes
The thunder sets him. Frozen.
As lightning ignites the sky
For a glorious moment,
Grace of god kindled in his eyes
The thunder fits him. Awake.
Visible as terror
Beheld as beauty
To find joy much rarer
Life's storm is a cruelty
Let it animate your soul
Or slaughter you whole.
Take it as you may
The storm will stay
