 Freeze Action
My Best Defense

 

 

Soundless thoughts surround me

as I toss and turn

through the horizon

of my awareness.

 

Everything aglow

beneath the distant roar.

 

Eerie lights against my face

thunder echoed beneath

groaning clouds

and fat raindrops

against my face.

 

Oh so many times

my thoughts wander in my half-slumber

as I'm

 

 awakened by

reflections of

life

 

But it's thunder
that worries me most
and smelling electricity
through the air

and cracks of lightning

filling the room

 

around me

flashing down all around me.

Until that one certain flash of lightning
 strikes deep within

I know

through the shutters of belief

this too shall pass.
