Sheet Lightning

We are driving across the plains of northern Colorado or Nebraska, I'm not entirely sure where we are. It's dark and the road signs are hard to see. The car sails through the darkness with a sense of fury. The sky opens up, spilling rain as if it were the earth's last. We can barely see the road, much less anything else. I begin to wonder if we should have rented an arch for this trip. Out of the corner of my eye I see the sudden light shed from a sheet of lightening. Something maddeningly majestic. For a flicker of an instant you can see for miles. Ominous gold fields that seem to stretch to the farthest edge of the world. The blueish purple stroke of energy surges raising an intense vibration that seems to be coming from deep within my soul. There is something so peaceful about something so wild and untamed. A tinge of fear, accompanied with excitement. I await each new flash with anticipation to catch a glimmer of what lies in this thick darkness. Each new bolt, drenched in rain and wonder!
