Night Storm

light splits the heavens

while ebony clouds explode

dark rivers run wild

After an all-night thunderstorm (which makes me sleep peacefully), we were awakened by a huge lightning strike this morning. I woke with this haiku in my head, so I decided to share it even though the challenge is closed. Probably for the best, since I've entered too many already. It's still pouring outside.

Thanks for reading!
