Fizzling Currents by R.M. Scott

thick energy beckoned

to cross into untamed woods

its pull, a shadowy cove

of forbidden shudder

long grasses and thistles

bristled and scratched

calling forth a message

of inner hearing

a worn game trail

gave way

curving and ducking

through brush and weeds

then, the hidden woods unfolded

an enormous tree lay

split and hewn down

its thick trunk cracked and thrown

the base sliced in jagged shards

lightning

fizzling currents hummed

through palms pressed

on the disconnected

magnetic force

energy to reheal

aligning the knowledge

of interweaving existence

all power and one
