" LIGHTNING STRIKE " (An Acrostic)

                                   L ancing wounds wrought by man,
                                   I  nspiring fear and awe...
                                   G enesis at nature's hand;
                                   H eaven summons all.
                                   T hundering its aftermath,
                                   N ight made into day;
                                   I  ndigo rent white with wrath...
                                   N one escape harm's way.
                                   G uilded tentacles now birthed,

                                   S inewed, stealthy, sleek,
                                   T ouch the face of mother earth,
                                   R adiant on her cheek.
                                   I  n that radiance, life and death;
                                   K issed, her breast recoils...
                                   E ndeavoring to draw new breath;
                                   S eared, her lifeblood boils.
