i am lightning 

without a place to strike 
i am fingers typing with no document 
open. i am shoe strings on toddler 
shoes with no one to tie them. i am 
a tongue without the alphabet. 
i am a goal without 
specifics. i am lost where no map 
or compass has explored.
i am divinely guided without 
a higher power
i am beyond myself in ways 
i can’t explain.
