<\/a><\/p>\nBRAINSTORM<\/p>\n
A bolt from the blue
\nTargeted you\u2026
\nAnd then rain on the brain
\nIn the main, leads to pain or\u2026
\nPlain thinking.<\/p>\n
Thunder, on the other hand
\nAs in thunderstruck
\nMakes or breaks or wakes you
\nTo new levels of sight, and insight
\nLightning enlightening the spark of a notion
\nA flash of brilliance
\nIlluminating the mental ocean<\/p>\n
Alleviating the tedium of a mentally
\nGrey day
\nWhere the clouds of unknowing
\nWon\u2019t go away,
\nAnd you haven\u2019t the foggiest idea, until\u2014-<\/p>\n
