" Lightning"

 Lightning # √

The waves engender lightning as I struggle to the shore

I feel the shock of wind and rain, and don the helm, once more

The weight of salty water bears me, slowly, towards the ground

The strength of tides required now, to keep me safely bound

Upon a course set years ago

The footsteps set precise and slow

The flicker of the lightning brightens all the ways in which

The leaves of time will blow away, all seasons at a pitch

I drag myself above the tides, beyond the craggy crest

And stand above the highest rocks, for Traveler, a test

I turn and look upon the ocean's ragged, furied wake

As trav’ler, bending test of time, recovers from the ache
