Explosions of insight

Light up the sky

As I lie here in the rain

And wait to die

A poignant moment

Frozen in time in my mind

The start of all this;

The end of all that.

The flash of lightning

Makes my pupils blow

And my tortured, beaten body

Lies broken on the floor.

I fought as best I could,

I played my part;

But I was overcome

And the thunder broke my heart
