Electric Blue

An afternoon storm
The air was warm
The rain was long past due
A lightning strike
The world went white
And all was lost to view

I blinked, I frowned
I stumbled 'round
Awaiting clarity
First white, then blue
Of perfect hue
Was all that I could see

Profound, pristine
So pure and clean
It burned into my brain
As wavelengths merged
And then diverged
I saw the colors twain

Blue warmth below
A cooler glow
The world did they imbue
Then two were one
Embracing, done
I'd seen Electric Blue

Should vision fail
As I grow frail
My memory will play
The rapture dealt
By a lightning bolt
One California day.
