Analysis of The Lightning Illusion
The lightning's flashes, Thunder's applause,
Sea wave's effervescent smiles,
Gleaming Moonlight and glittering stars,
Dancing trees and whispering pines,
Flickering hummingbirds,
Colorful butterflies and blossoms-
All arrive as Flashes and evanesce.
You came as lightening
With overpowering presence.
As I just become you,
You depart as a flash.
Is this to remind me that
Life is a lightning illusion?
That every beginning must end.
Or does every end have a beginning?
As I remain in oblivion of the ligthning illusion,
I cherish the memorial clouds of our union,
Causing an ecstatic rain.
But my heart's aching with memories,
As you bid adieu in the Lightning illusion.
