as the sun rises . and streetlights go out, no one . says throw them away
in comparison . the brightest sunshine creates . the darkest shadows
tension keeps the bridge . from falling down, but prevents . the river flowing
wisdom is trusting . which berries are poisonous . without tasting them
even sunflowers . need a daily reminder . where the sun rises
a splash of colors . creates a moment, before . it is forgotten
as the lightning fades . and the thunder rolls away . we’re forever changed
we can only guess . what is happening beyond . the visible sky
from a sheltered spot . the thunderstorm can be seen . as entertaining
the stream does not think . it comes to an obstacle . and flows around it
