Lightning Takes the Forest

A flash of light
In the woods
Quick popping noise
Streak across the sky

Stars brighten
and glisten
against dark of night
as two lightning bolts strike

Animals take cover
Under fallen oaks and hickories
Felled during other lightning strikes

Fox, opossums, wolves
Huddling and resting
As cosmos fireworks
Begin their beautiful light show
