the way the lightning strikes
is the way that you love

you see something in pain,
struggling, and you-

you are the harbinger of all things good.
your lightning is your presence
your thunder is your determination
your rain is your healing
your vegetation is your growth.

you are all that is good, so you
deserve all that is good-

not deceit
not struggles
not harm
not false hope
not pain not hurt
not sadness nor
helplessness.

you are the calm
you are the storm
you are the aftermath.
