A Night’s Living Dark

The weight of the sky
Rushes to the ground
In a soothing, smothering
White noise of sound.
It beats like a heartbeat.
It burns like a thought.
A sky filled with light
In a night’s living dark.
Entrancing, relaxing,
Frightening, compelling –
It calls to the soul
With each beat, with each flash:
A cavalcade of conflicts –
The calm and the crash.
