Homage To Ohmage

Standing outside, caught undercover.
Catching voltage in a Florida storm.
Seeing bright shock in the sky.
Feeling boom in my chest.

The allure of natural calamity 
may be a dangerous arc,
which could lay my heart to rest, electrically.

But how do I resist a spark?

Does little lightning strike inside me?
Does thunder stoke my soul?
Is there a storm inside me that will
make me pay a toll?

Perhaps internal payment will buy 
endurance against the the storm.

When, ohm wind, will the storm be past?
And true resistance realized, at last.
