Flash in the Dark

lightning in the night sky
illuminating things unknown
sometimes life flashes with lightning, too
and brings to light the answers that have been there all along
sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same
heard that in a song once, and it just ran through my brain
i think it's probably true
but that doesn't make things any easier to swallow
the breeze blows and the lightning flashes again
can you smell change?  or taste it?
i suppose it's going to come charging in whether i'm ready for it or not
so i should just shut my mouth and go with the flow
tomorrow a chapter will come to a virtual end
the unknown is with me always it seems
i'm not looking for answers today
though who knows what the next flash might reveal?
