Lightning Strikes

As megavolt spark etches its questing zigzag on ink-black sky;

As negative reaches for positive in its cloudy embrace,

So, my spirit reaches out to You, the Infinite Positive.

I desire the rest and resolution of that crashing, crackling encounter;

That thunderous moment of earth and heaven;

That infinite explosion of human and divine;

That blessed neutralizing of aching desire within:

That always and never satisfied longing for union with You.
