Array ( [sid] => 18148 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Lightning [time] => 2003-05-28 12:05:00 [hometext] => This poem is messed up because I talked about the lightning outside which suddenly reminded me of Richard Rahl from the Terry Goodkind Sword of Truth series, which I was reading at that moment..so it suddenly turns into a poem about him! *smile* I know, odd. [bodytext] => It's welcomed,
With the rain,
Because it means a change.

It sounds exciting,
With the assuring patter of rain
And the rustle of the trees.

Though night,
The sky is, at a moment, bright
With the white light of pounding.

I want to stay safe;
I want to go out and be
One with the lightning.

He's the leader,
Who brings reforms
Through his steadfast execution.

Persistence goes far,
He will change the world,
But for the better, I hope.

To see the light he brings
Is full, understanding truth,
Because it is real.

Not like the white uniforms
That come passing by,
Who are white, but bring no light.

The white uniforms want power,
And through the heat,
Thirst the people into submission.

The lightning through his anger,
Is powerful because he has a cause,
A reason for things to change.

He storms in; he conquers.
The rain subsides,
And that makes the flowers grow. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 182 [topic] => 25 [informant] => starkindler [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => MiscPoems )

Yes...that is why I'm extremely bad at writing essays, etc...I am always bouncing around! (I think I really need some help in that.) It's as if I get a new idea while still writing the prior one. :-/

Great Poem!!! I also have this series from Terry Goodkind. It fits perfectly. I take it that you must have been reading the first or second book in the series. That's when the sisters of the light came for him to take him to the palace of the prophets. I have read all of them and wish they would come out faster....LOL!
