Pulsing flashes
In lunar blue
Reminds me of nights
Spent with you
The electricity surges
And the sparks fly
With no known method
To quantify
A pensive mood
Brings your essence near
As the reflection of your face
Ignites a tear
Another sporadic flicker
Illuminates the sky
Reviving untold memories
Of you and I

As night enveloped
Their fears developed
For they couldn’t see the shore
The rain showered down
Thunder all around
As they huddled on the floor
Lightning bolts flashed
As the swells began to crash
They secured their only door
But it seemed their plight
Wouldn’t relent that night
As the winds increasingly roared
With the cabin secured
They felt somewhat reassured
But the chaos they couldn’t ignore
The storm continued to rage on
Until the brink of dawn
Settling at half past four
It was then they finally knew
That they had made it through
Their tears began to pour
And it made them consider
The misfortunes life can deliver
They were all changed like never before
