Winter Lightning

A flash of white
streaks through the air.
Electric might
shot through with despair.

This is when ice is made
all the more frightening,
with a chaotic serenade
of winter lightning.

When the world is dead,
frozen and cold,
you finally realize
how Earth's fury is bold.

This is when ice is made
all the more frightening,
with a chaotic serenade
of winter lightning.

Tree limbs are bones,
grey skies are cackling.
In Nature's baritones
the blinding snow is crackling.

This is when ice is made
all the more frightening,
with a chaotic serenade
of winter lightning.

Now freeze.
