Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

white lightning

lightning strikes 

a white hot flash

the dark sky briefly on fire

as two souls connect

lightning strikes 

powerful lightning striking a tree in a residential area

Thanks to the following challenges for the inspiration. Please visit them for more details and some great writing. (Please note, I did use SOUL instead of SPIRIT–I liked the way it sounded. 

Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

if I could be me

If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?

if I could be me

but wiser, softer, kinder

quiescent no more

the arrogance of youth shed

my chrysalis cracked open
