Faraway lightning is lighting up the sky
Across the desert floor from where two dogs and I
Behold it unfolding like a fireworks show
A play of light and shadow in the sky to see
Right out the kitchen door something out there I know
Suggesting why not be to my question why
Lightning is enlightening even far away
Its thunder unheard but present anyway
Something to wonder about up late with friends
One might understand as what is that never ends
As what has always been that will always be
Something that understands me but does not explain
Until the thunder comes that will bring the rain
Because whatever one might call what does not die
Waits out there in the shadow to be the light
For someone to see in the night like me tonight
Something that transcends albeit silently
Unexpected lightning has been expecting me
