CRASH, BOOM, BANG
The power and the energy
Coursing through the sky
Brightness flashes across the sky
The specter in the sky
An explosion that rattles to your core
So impressive, but so dangerous
CRASH, BOOM, BANG
The capacity to bring so much amazement
Yet the ability to make you jump in fear
The power and wraith of nature all wrapped up as one
CRASH, BOOM, BANG
*Inspired by the enormous lightning bolt I saw tonight. Impressive and loud.*

Wind blowing harder
Kicking up the sand
Trudging forward into the unknown
Sand blasting into my face
Unable to see my place
Walking, walking, walking
Forward I must go
Unyielding it beats against my skin
Tearing and blasting, ripping away
Pain is digging deeper
Can I go on
Blinding me, pushing back at me
My body feeling the strain
Going backwards is not an option
Left or right brings no relief
Forward I trudge into the abyss
Should I just give up
Sit down in the sand
Let it cover me over
To be found no more
