Struck By Lightning

[billy]

for me this is out and out prose. not a prose poem but dedicated prose. it reads like snippets of a story. has no poetic devices
i'm not sure how to tie the title into the poem either.

thanks for the read.

Something is here, here beyond the veil of understanding.
It hides its face and yet with familiar voice calls out from the dark. a bit lord of the ringish that's too ambiguous

"Step forward, curious child, and embrace the unseen. Chase the mystery that beckons. reads like fluff, as though it's pretending to say something, it's a lamb in wolf's clothing. fine in a tale but not good in a poem.

Into the abyss I run, until beams of light pierce the veil of shadows. What figure stands at the other side, a face unseen with voice so familiar? Is it you who brings me here? Or do I run to you at my heart's own yearning? What is it that I search for in the world with no answer? again, this reads as fluff that doesn't actually go anywhere or show anything

As I finally reach my destination, I see but a mirror with a smiling reflection, and the search ends. I have found myself; I am the answer that I seek. a very weak ending, the journey to this point never showed me anything.
