Lightning without thunder

Expecting the outcome of a beautiful terror
I glance as your mouth opens through downcast lashes
Muscles stay clenched in anticipation and yet

That smile

Soft and calm as the post storm dusk.
There is no further thunder, words at my expense
Only reassurance of safety and of love.

Instantly I'm at peace

Your words flash like lightning in that moment
Dazzling the sky, seizing and showing me
Where you are is where I'm most at home
