Breath Before the Plunge
I feel the joy of ecstasy bolt through me
 As I hear the faint roar in the distance
 It could be anything
 A truck rumbling down the road
 Or a train on the tracks
 But I know
 
 Its voice is clear in the still air
 The low growl fading, before it begins again
 Anger filled in the voice
 Rearing out of the dark cloud
 To unsettle the awaiting victims
 
 I rush outside
 To beckon the voice here
 The power is unsettling
 Yet so desiring 
 
 The partner of the voice comes forward then
 Brilliantly stunning against the oncoming darkness
 The light moves with passion
 Its arms striking out in all directions 
 Eager to taste the still air
 
 I stand immobile
 Waiting for the show of supremacy
 To start
 
 And then the partners of power move
 As the first raindrop falls from the darkness
 The dance starts with a flash 
 Then the voice sings out into the darkness
 They move slowly
 But quickly the intensity of the dance
 Speeds up
 
 The light snakes through the air
 Then the voice shouts back
 Louder they get
 Faster they move
 
 The wind whips around me
 Answering the call of the storm
 I take a breath
 And then I am swallowed
 The fire of the storm consumes me
 Heart, Body, and Soul
