“I am a lightning bolt” by Trevor Witt

I am a lightning bolt,
A flash of electricity,
A current traveling from
The cloudy heavens to earth,
Firing photons across the sky,
Aiming to balance an electric field.

I am a temporary being,
Gone in a split second,
Exerting enormous energy,
Just so I can be seen.

I am a force of nature,
Untamed, relentless,
Intangible, dangerous

You cannot hold me.
