lightning strikes through my heart
burning skies tear apart
this darkness in a millisecond
am i expendable
laughable
plausible
source-able
you are inexhaustible
your fire inspires longing
forming spirals
swarming like wasps on a journey
or a patient upon a gurney
what a heart-warming experience
this resilience
fingers pointing at the sun
will we also warm our minds
before the day is done
i am young yet bold
courageous like warriors of old
who held in their palms untold stories
of a Sun that shined behind closed eyes
and formed improbable worlds
from the shadows cast off their words
