The art of raising a subject without closing it

You know, you just know, its that feeling in the air the sensation that something is going to take place. You don't know what, you don't really care what you are on edge, waiting, still forever waiting Then like a stupendous flash the sky momentary lightens and darkens again leaving an image your minds eye still see's Its as if its been burnt every detail stunningly clear and yet you realise there's nothing really there as light returns All appears normal you scratch your head and puzzle it over and over you know that you and indeed the world saw it but what did you all see. A flash of fantastical light then dark then light returning just simple light You could live another thousand without seeing it yet here comes the conundrum what was it?
