It’s like the exact opposite of James Joyce, poetry instead of prose, at peace with thunder as opposed to terrified by it. I can hear the rattle of the rain, and rumble of the thunder in the meter.
The poem is a mirror, reflecting our innermost desires to be both part of something larger and to stand unique in our strength. A poetic examination of the human condition.

Superbly resonate and sublime, Scott. Absolutely wonderful!!
"I am part of that, I am mighty too
take me if you will, but when you do
we both triumph as we are
melded back into a star."
Excellent piece! I’ve cross-posted and restacked it as well. Loved it, and hope that my readers do!
