selective photography of white thunder

lightening
is a form
of sky writing
it's a dance
an unspoken language
a message
from the sky
to the earth
lightening
comes from the clouds
but the part we actually see
comes from the ground
as it rises to meet
the electrical charge
each strike
carries one million volts
of electricity
so when the sky
and the earth
communicate
things really
sizzle
