Lightning, at long last! by Eugene Blackman

At Long Last.

Up from the deeps of darkest corners
my soul sees lightning
then hears a call
and as long fingers of love begin falling
from shivery heights
they start to distill
love's sweet nectar so I may be fulfilled.

A far ether-star loads and then installs
me in new time with
such awesome
style, my sky-boat takes its mooring
to line's full length
as now it hates
any but non-ventured high places.

Whimsy eats into my all-white awning,
because the grey cloud
which was on shore
has floated away, and the tallest
of rainbows is colouring
the past
out of my eyes, at long, long, last.

Wow! Such stunning imagery it takes by breath away and the lightening in the picture kick starts the poem with such speed. I just adore, "and the tallest of rainbows is coloring the past out of my eyes, at long, long, last...
