The Lightning
With a hot breath and a brief flash
Passing in the blink of an eye
There you stand in awe
Perceiving yet unable to act

Ozone stinging your senses
Deafening thunder knocking you down
Reeling in terror unable to think
Moments pass

You realize you are living
A stroke of luck
Or a decision from a forgiving god
The tree behind you is split in two

Its charred and flaming trunk
Protesting that it should have been you
The chance to make up for past misdeeds
Is granted and you are fortunate
