First Step


To see
through the trees
to the forest within
is the first step
in.

    Meditations on Lightning

    When cumulous clouds
    Can hold their charge no longer,
    Light will breach the earth.

    *

    In a open field,
    The one who stands up always
    Risks sudden burnout.

    *

    Ideas hurt less
    Than lightning, though sometimes few
    Will survive either.

    *

    Random strikes take out
    The innocent along with
    The presumed guilty.

    *
    To guide the lost, light
    From a candle’s not the same
    As a tree on fire.

    *

    Lightning’s sneakier
    Than a rattlesnake because
    It gives no warning

    *
    Lightning’s coiffure roils
    Across the desert as if
    A coil of barbed wire.
