METEOR AND LIGHTNING

Old visual dilemma:

cosmic stones which burn in the atmosphere
or
hot-tempered relations between clouds -

night phenomenon gala

METEOR AND LIGHTNING

“I want more!
I’ve seen a super-view!”
shouts the youngest meteor
and begs his old master
to let him stay a few more moments
over the earth.

“It’s impossible, my friend!
That is a feeling for the people,
not for us.
Just use your brain of burning stone.
We have to respect
the rule of cosmic life.
Let’s do it!”

What a stubborn desire!
The youngest meteor dares to lower
to look among the clouds
at the earthly life.

Now it is the time for a lightning!

BECAUSE

Because of so much celestial blue in me,
I make a lot of pranks,
starting to the heavens from my house,
participating at weddings with illusions,
inducing showers of love,
provoking giant combustions
in which the human suffering perishes,
irradiating my fingerprints to any approach,
modifying the day of tomorrow,

and using thunders and lightnings
to justify my sorrow.

LIGHTNING HAIKU

The gods speak
through fire and peal -
electric panic

LIGHTNING

Avid researchers created sparkles
to study more and more…
Mother Nature smiled: She had created the lightning
many ages before…

-Zigmund Tauberg-

LIGHTNING

Sky symphony?
Or dreams of light?

not to forget us

LIGHTNING

From a lightning, a mystery lightened,
why? , only a wise man can know,
one day I saw a lightning in a vault
talking with someone from another world,
we are lightnings that come from abysses,
in the apparent non-motion
we live a cold or fiery moment,
the lightning does not touch us,
or it touches other people,
the thunder seems to be a note
from an uni-sonorous grief,
the lightning amazes us,
the thunder scares us,
the world is wild,
and life is not mild.

Lightning -
a fibre of light shivers

LIGHTNING

Maybe the technical procedures for poducing rains
will include the lightning too.

Maybe the artificial lightning
will perfect the world.

Maybe in a perfect society
the people will thunder each other just through their eyes.

But the lightning that we have known…

-aroused fascination in classical storms.

-scared the pirates of the seas.

-provoked rains through which the lovers ran.

LIGHNING HAIKU

Unleashed,
Light, Life and Death
are just a whisper.

LIGHTNING

From painful moments,
I’ve prepared lightnings
through flights of rain,
great words with terrestrial faces
that carry in the light
what I didn’t dare to say:

the embrace of a soul
with the wing of an angel.

PROPAGATIONS

The lightning propagation
needs milliseconds.

The thunder propagation
needs seconds.

The man propagation
needs centuries.
