Before a crack, a forking rend in time... I don't think the comma is necessary
A Fertile light before a thunder chimes.... in general, shaving articles of speech ('a', 'the', 'as' etc.) helps clean things up
Inside we plot before we motion hands.... I like the feel of this line but am not sure what it means. Which is perfectly fine, poetry doesn't literal propositions
As God was flashing lightning, thunder sat
A latent roar to resonate a light
A following sound to fade alluring light
A flash, an Impetus before a crash.

In bodies there resides a guiding will
A cause to move an empty weighted husk
A will to gaze for lightning during dusk... perfect rhymes are ok but feel a bit strange in isolation and with uneven meter (syllables)
To make our lightning rods as gods
Our dreams can flash as cups in need of fill
To Masquerade amidst the light of gods

Overall I think its interesting but would improve from fewer 'A's. As well as trying to remove anything that simply repeats a concept.
I'm experimenting with the Petrarchan Sonnet form, hence the extra words. The form is probably not correct. Thank you for your input.
