Lightning

Gone 

Even when I check 

Gone 

Struck 

Removed from the scene 

Without fire 

Pricks

Stabbing hearts and souls 

Gone 

Beauty going through it 

Learning to discover 

What is here

Everywhere that isn’t 

Thankful 

Seeing new layers 

Peeling back 

Colors present 

While the looking around 

Is gone

Hesitating no longer

Letting go 

Inch by Inch

Line by line 

Moment by moment 

Gone 

Your Thoughts
