Lightning
A flash of light piercing through the sky.
Always faster than thunder.
In all it's splendour.
Swift, fast and agile.
It dissipates as fast as it flashes.
No more to be seen.
At an atomic level, it is a friction of ions.
Clashing of static.
Though opposites charge attracts, they clash.
Clash into luminous streaks.
At a poetic level, it defines speed.
Impermenance.
Grandeur.
Light.
Hope.
Destruction.
Electricity.
To some even - Benjamin Franklin.
