lightning

I am the rain transformed.
I am more than light, and speed.
I am deafening but silent.

I am quicker than most.
I am louder than most.
I am brightest when I arrive. 

I move from ground to sky,
from the sky to ground,
and even between the clouds.

I am in your veins,
orbiting your atoms, 
making your thoughts. 

I am jagged and beautiful.
I am love and death.
I am the rain transformed.
