Be The Lightning

 


Catch the lightning
preferably in a bottle

Throw the lightning
a bolt from hand or hammer

Be the lightning
give energy to the weak
harden sand til it shines
awaken the abused and abandoned son
and his would-not-be bride

Don't be caught

Don't be thrown

Be the lightning

Be the bolt

Be the power
that illuminates
that burns
that lives
