A poem about moments. The kind that knock you down, that weaken your pulse - just before it speeds up again.

Impact


Crackling fibers


      dance


Upon the glowing


      ember


light of this


      electrifying


            moment


Every particle


      etched


together with


      energy - 
  
            lightning


Something deeper,


      warmer


than fire..


      burns within


And the crashing


      waves


are a mute comparison


      wind


cannot blow, nearly


      fierce


            enough


Only light, reflection


      refraction


Particles - finely tuned


      flowing


Moving together, they


      crumble


melting toward one another


      giving


in to this elegant


      yearning


this natural pull to -


      connect


Much like the flow of


      lava


the kind of burn that


      heals


the kind of pull that


      forgives


and the kind of welcome that


      encapsulates


BANG


      doesn't even scratch the


            surface


      of this. This is larger
