The Lightning Tale

 Lightning sizzles the darkened sky

not asking anyone how or why

brings depth to the moments hand

terrifies every creature and man

 Moves with wild startling speeds

screams with a fire tongue that leads

looses its uncontrolled inner soul

as fury commands its devilish toll

 Lightning the rage starts to succumb

all bow, their souls burnt into one

wiped away from coolness they found

only to be burnt, buried into the ground

 Violence slowly comes to an end

as swirles calm the darkened wind

brings peace with a sorrowed frown

distant echo’s laugh like a clown -

 as lightning tells its tale
