Lightning*

The dazzling white lights dancing through the stormy night,
Bring a sense of inspiration and fill me with delight

A sudden burst of terror brakes through the night-lit sky,
Which seems as though the heavens and earth are breaking with the tides

As humans lay in slumber the lights continue on,
Until the wakening of the dead, until the break of dawn...
