S.KRAUSE

II

Lightning strikes my heart
  Lights flash, embers burn
  angels fly, and worlds turn
Afraid, I stand shaken
  Tremors traverse my spine
  Forging a fractured line
Unable to react
  In ecstasy's paralysis
  Perched over night's abyss
Resonating with the shock
  Perhaps to fall
  Perchance to soar
Awaiting oblivion I collapse
  And feel no more
