Peonies and Lightning



Heavy with beauty

from the world's other side,

peonies arched and moral

 in the majesty of June,

bowed to the ground

as the storm goes bragging,

the air charged and the sky dragging,

thunder pounding its chest,

red running through us as petals fall,

and in the midst of it all

the hylas are singing,

praising the rain and each other.

Everything we feel and see is us,

and anything is possible.
