My Heart is Full of Thunder
#50 of poetry
"While it was initially thought that this culture had multiple archer goddesses, one of lighting and storms, and another of love and healing, recent finds seem to imply that these were in fact the same figure. The same glyph, set in the position which in other art of this kind indicates a name, has been found by archer goddess figures in both capacities, thus the most likely conclusion is that this culture believed in a deity of both thunder and love."
This one came together spontaneaously and close to instantaneously when PascalFarful happened to say the title line in VoD telegram.
My heart is full of thunder.
This is neither good nor bad.
Which may lead you to wonder
Just what sort of day I've had.
And if you were standing under
The fall of blood or rain,
Then you may well think the thunder
To be cries of crippling pain.
But my heart's not only broken,
But my voice does more than crash,
And the lightning, though unspoken,
Makes a most impressive flash.
I've indeed been torn asunder.
That's how I learned how to mend.
If my heart is full of thunder
Then it's beating once again.
