Flash.
A burst of light as bright as the sun had been before cloud cover came.
So brilliant were the streaks of light across the sky.
So powerful the roaring rumble of the repairing air.
I remember sitting there when I was young gazing upon the outside,
Terrified,
Terrified of the violent sounds and blinding bolts of lightening across the night sky.
Today I witnessed something more from this wondrous sight.
Such power and fury built up into each arc.
Enough power to destroy a world that we know.
Natures wrath is immense, yes,
But not respected.
Oh how many souls know the endless bounds of our mothers rage,
So deadly as to harbor the most lethal of payloads in that single bolt.

Out my window I saw more than just lightening,
I saw a change in my memory.
The vision I once had of the rain suddenly tainted,
Ruined,
Ruined like what once was.
I remembered you when the rain came along,
With that bolt though I saw something I had long feared.
In that moment as the bolt came down I saw the bond between us split like the sky.
A single dose of perpetual death dealt to us.
Then the crash as the sky collapsed in on itself and us.
Separating,
Separating us further from what I desired most.
That one bolt ravaged my garden.
One bolt with so much force in it as to destroy my life's work,
My garden,
Gone.
All that I would lay eyes on left was not you there with me no but my roses lifeless, daisies burned,
Everything either dead or dying.

I remember watching out my window as everything fell in on us.
You shoving me away as that bolt did come between us,
My heartbreaking with its contact,
You gone when I woke,
I remember seeing only but a wilted rose and burning daisy to remember you by.
