by J. P. Zell, 1997
Lost in thunder
You and I
beneath a dark and muddled sky
{I never saw the sorrow on your face}
Etched in flashes
Brilliant light
bridging heaven & earth alike
{or the tears rolling down your cheeks like rain}
After the storm
Passing booms
irreverent echoes laughing doom
{will your smile forever mask your pain}
