The black heavens were made all the more enchanting by the lightning that stormy day.
In the black that nurtured the evening street came streaks of bold light, came lightning to electrify our hearts.
As if it were starlight pulsing through the graphite sky, lightning came in great networking forks.
Lightning illuminates a brilliant pathway above, lifting our eyes skyward, bringing even the slowest soul-pulses back into a steady and strong rhythm.
The lightning came as Earth's AED, as if her heart needed a jump start.
It was as if the lightning recharged my soul while the rain cleansed, while the thunder resonated so deep in my bones.
