When Lightning Struck Unpredictability Of life and the world, intuition A primal source, nature’s le coup de foudre Luminous beamscape reveals itself, kaleidoscopic When lightning struck. I began to quiver Optical tilt, a bolt captured Spiritual enlightenment A divine rapture One gigajoule Energized by grand Azure gigajoule—pronounced ‘ul le coup de foudre—bad weather

One expects a display of colors during such a storm.

It is my sister's photo, she calls it "pink lightning storm" of course I enhanced the color, a lot, to be able to see the bolt clearly.

Wonderful. Your vocabulary is colourful and amazing Anaya. Sadly, the NOTE seems to have conflated the two "idioms/terms/expressions" or is it my misread? Apology (1) I thanked u, but I didn't! For hi visiting and adding Leviticus to scriptures I need. (2) for possible confusing the note to this poem. Paz Beautiful One

The lightning bolt symbol is used to convey things that may be shocking either electrically, or in a metaphorical sense. I wanted the extraterrestrial, human-related phenomena to come across, Anil. While trying to give a sci-fi feel I also included a questionable divine source. My sister took the photo, I thought I could do something with it. Vaya con Dios
