Favorite Quote:
"To be great is to be misunderstood." Ralph Waldo Emerson


O Lightning, I pray thee tarry for the night is young yet
As rain falls and thunder claps
Stars may catch thee in their twinkling net

Upon the night sky I beg Thee collapse
As leaves are blown from their limbs
The whirling wind around thee warps

Humanity is slave to Thy whims
As winds howl a name
The earth holds thee on its rims

I shall seek thine face for it is my aim
To behold the flash that captures the world aflame
