Thunder & Lightning

I swear today was the longest day in my history. Between work and visiting family there has been no time for me. At least now I can sit back, relax, and watch this beautiful lightning storm.
Aaaaahhh thunder and lightning. Frightening to dogs and children, I guess it takes a more poetic eye to catch its beauty. The way it dances and flickers across the sky, a single stroke of light and energy caught in a millisecond of time. How wondrous something little and so brief can cause such tremendous music and chaos. Like a lover to another, sweet passion and fire; Yet like spiteful enemies, destruction and betrayal. One moment, the perfect setting for a romantic viewing, The next, the downfall and destruction of homes, architecture, and landscapes. The perfect combination of fire and ice. Calm and serene, yet ambivalent and frightening.
