Thunder claps and bludgeoning rain drops Lightning strikes and my bustling brain stops Singed and smoldering, scorched skin smokes Beneath blistering garments, muddy and soaked Face down in this grit, grime and decay Struck down by nature, life fading away Palpitating heart halts and quickly grows cold For a fleeting moment, heaven unfolds In a flash and a crackle Blackness is all I behold "In A Flash and A Crackle" might be the better title. I'm still thinking on it. The inspiration is Albert Camus's concept of the Absurd.
