Brightness Explodes

 


Brightness explodes in my mouth

Raspberry redness delights my eyes

And tiny seeds crunch in my teeth

As I chew the bites of jam on toast

And sip my morning tea.

 

Outside, darkness deepens

Ladened grey clouds roll in

Bright lightning delights my eyes

As thunder explodes all around me

The storm gets closer

The clouds relax, releasing their load

Raindrop ping on the steel stovepipe.

 

I am safe and dry, warm and fed

Domesticity and wildness

Fill up my sense concurrently

I feel alive.
