Steady upon the railed heat
of bead lightening
He steers his charged chariot
into the eye of the cyclone
Avoiding the frequent quakes
of sonorous thunder
He negotiates the strobes
that flash the sodden air
Extended whip of direction
finds the driven horses
That lead him straight into
a flux of over static air
Determination sees him attempt
the twisted vortex
Vulgar bolts of anger
look to dismount his stout attempt
Hoof on air
charred steel in flight
Still he rides
the tornado fuelled skies
The sound of triumph
emanates from trailing vector winds
The nail of victory
scratches at the stubborn storm of night
Only as the heavens settle
and grilled deposits are cleansed
Will he and his mighty stallions
reflect upon their perilous path
A journey he and they know
will be attempted again and again
