Flash of Light

Another flash of lightning

as the thunder dies.

Vengeful seeking fingers

stroke across the skies.

*

There lies a child sleeping

dreams soothe her eyes.

Hope in tranquil breathing

more so in her sighs.

*

In every dream a life

a living seed to sow.

In every crash of lightning

He will only know.

For Susan: Her hopes, her dreams.
