One rainy night, I stood by my window
Fire streaked across the sky
Bolts of lightning reached forth their snarling fingers
Thunder cracked
The heavens roared
Man made transformer atop the pole, struck by a mighty blast
Burst into flames
Sparks flew, fire erupted
The bolts of lightning formed a virtual artwork of fury across
the Heavens
So close was it to me I jumped back in fear
I thought 'speak Lord, I hear you
Such was the sheer power not twenty feet from me
So I shouted 'speak Lord, I hear you'
It is beautiful
This dangerous fiery beast
Consider in awe
This vast incomprehensible universe that we have only
just scratched the surface of understanding
Its force and depth can bring us to our knees
Consider our frailty
How small we are in the universe
How the mighty hand of our creator can decide if we live or die
In this storm I saw my life
I glimpsed the infinite
The turbulence
The inner workings of the pieces that form this magical being
We are nothing but bones and sinew stitched together to form
LIFE
How truly awesome that this individual blends with millions of
similar individuals to form one collective human race
The wondrous beauty of life
It waits not for you
The years fly by
Each new one takes you closer to
Infinite intelligence
