In a flash.

Crystallized droplets form and fall from the heavens, onto the land.
This divine rain falls suddenly,
Boldly proclaiming its presence,
With the aid of thunder and lightning flashes,

To add effect.

It awakens emotions and ideas,
With every crystal drop, that falls

You become entranced.

With words expressing beauty that can not be matched
You are moved by the way the words flow,
In a chorus that proclaims life
You are brought to near-tears.
You feel as if you are there,
As if this is all happening to you,
Or someone you know.

It becomes personal.

You must see how it ends,
So you continue the journey

Continue to walk through this rain,
Until the final stanza.

The final part,

The most important of all.
And when it finishes,

The journey is ended,
And the words have stopped their motion
And you sit their stunned

In shock for a moment
With wide, open eyes

In a kind of amazed daze over what you've read.

Amazed at how easily it began,
And how beautifully it ended.

Then, you pick up the paper;

Take a look around,

And begin the journey again

The Journey of Poetry

In a flash.

Crystallized droplets form and fall from the heavens, onto the land.
This divine rain falls suddenly,
Boldly proclaiming its presence,
With the aid of thunder and lightning flashes,

To add effect.

It awakens emotions and ideas,
With every crystal drop, that falls

You become entranced.

With words expressing beauty that can not be matched
You are moved by the way the words flow,
In a chorus that proclaims life
You are brought to near-tears.
You feel as if you are there,
As if this is all happening to you,
Or someone you know.

It becomes personal.

You must see how it ends,
So you continue the journey

Continue to walk through this rain,
Until the final stanza.

The final part,

The most important of all.
And when it finishes,

The journey is ended,
And the words have stopped their motion
And you sit their stunned

In shock for a moment
With wide, open eyes

In a kind of amazed daze over what you've read.

Amazed at how easily it began,
And how beautifully it ended.

Then, you pick up the paper;

Take a look around,

And begin the journey again

Beautifully done, and I love the sporatic spaces, they add great effect to the mood of the poem. Good ending too, most important part of anything written.

Yes, that is the transportation of well-written and fascinating verse that leaves one breathless. Bravo. Nice stuff here.
