The Flash

The Flash 

 When the is thunder and lightning fall to earth 
let us call the lightning “Flash” when hitting the ocean 
it does not die but sinks to the sea like a bubble 
waiting in a cataleptic slumber.
When the call came, they rose from the shaking sea
upwards and behind the clouds.
The meteorological conditions had taken a turn for 
the worse, clouds were running out of flashes.
The vain Thor, with his hammer, striking an anvil was
not effective only produced small glimmers that
didn’t reach the earth.
Thus, fortified clouds were ready for the winter.
