Lightning Bolt

As megavolt spark etches its questing zigzag on ink-black sky;
As negative reaches for positive in its cloudy embrace,
So, my spirit reaches out to You, the Infinite Positive.

I desire the rest and resolution of that crashing, crackling encounter;
That thunderous moment of earth and heaven;
That infinite explosion of human and divine;
That blessed neutralizing of aching desire within:
That always and never satisfied longing for union with You.
