Rogue Lightning
Sky of ions -
seemingly spent,
vibrating static
Sent -
Across the horizon
to & fro -
whispering
dreams,
In the silence
of
symphonies
in
The stillness
of
otherworldly
meditation,
Into
focal
point
consolidation,
Out
of
illusory
nothing,
Instantaneous
surfacing
of
verse,
to
Traverse
the
Earth
With
the Will
of
the
Universe

Author's Note
As a runner, I like to go out in the snow with light clothing to challenge myself to get warm, summoning the inner tumo… or like, forcing myself to write in states of extreme exhaustion & hunger. To push the bounderies and impress the memories of such operations, deep into the fabric of my self.
I just was thinking of these sorts of states...
There is a quote from the movie Runaway Train, that I always liked: "You don't know what you could do and what you can't. One day you're gonna learn. It's all up here."
I think the quote illustrates pushing one's boundaries and finding something you didn't think was there.
(Also this might be a companion piece to "Rogue Wave", so I decided to do a reading.)
... On a side note. I almost misspelled lightning agai

Love the pauses building energy released in the next stanza. Rhythm and pacing seems amazing. A poem that requires several reading [or maybe I'm just slow]. Loved this, Richard

Thank you Richard. This is a wonderful comment. Your astute perspective edifies me and provides confirmation in my endeavors.
... What if speed is an illusion? How might we incorporate such a potentiality into our work? I think of this...
I deeply appreciate your words.

I love that itchy-potential energy feeling you've conveyed with the first verse... I also love pushing my own limits (usually in some sort of physical challenge). How do we know where our edges are if we don't fall off them once in a while...?
Thanks for the think.

This means so very much to me my magical friend.
I believe you are a spokesperson for a Pantheon of gods, energies, frequencies, and elements...
I deeply appreciate you.
Blessing to thee.
