Sometimes you’re a flashing rod of ice
scattering electric strands
Sometimes you show thrashing slender thighs
racing over dark-blue sands
Sometimes you’re a light-blue glowing ghost
igniting a jeweled sea
somewhere far off the Pacific coast
yet electrifying me
I see you in the lightning
I feel you in its power
Your energy’s so frightening
sometimes I have to cower
A shy knight kneeling down
to your radiant crown
I see you in the lightning
stunned by your magic bolt
I feel my flesh igniting
within the thunder’s jolt
your tower so inviting
your passion so inciting
your atmospheric spark
sanctifying the dark
