spring storm 5/28/11

outside
in the darkness
a storm rages
the eruptions of thunder
are in simultaneity
with the actinic flashes
of sheet lightning
strobing in my yard

inside
i sit in the solitude
of a dark and quiet house
i look out

i think of you

strobing is a great word!

Thanks!

I like the way you set this up. There is something about the line breaks that make each phrase strike hard. And the last line is a real turn around-- something that makes you think.

Some people always enter our minds with the storms...
