Lightning Flashes of Memorys Light

Thunder booms overhead,
And the lightning dances soon after.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Five miles away
A brilliant streak of light flashes,
Lighting the crying skies.
The thunder drums
They sound again
And I dance to their rythm.
1, 2, 3.
Three miles away
Brilliant white light flashes
And is gone in a milli-split-second
Leaving only the memory.
1.
One mile away
The wind whipping my face,
Raindrops and tears
Stinging like needles.
0.
Thunder and lightning
Crackle and boom,
I can't dance fast enough
To kepp up withthe tempo
They set.
As if life, and as in death,
I'm always getting swept
Off my feet by time.
But still I always rise
To dance again
Alone and forgotten
Beneath the stars,
And the moon,
And the clouds,
All through out
The rain filled nights.
