here I am
on a cloudless day
awaiting the static tickle
pungent ozone smell
faint crackling sound
then the flash

love it.
I like the use of your senses. I can almost hear, smell, and see it!
It appears that you did experience lightning!
This is great! The metaphor illustrates the title and provides depth of meaning. Plus, I totally relate.
