It was never my intention to divulge the final scene,
on that night within the forest where the gathering took place,
willing that it be forgotten, leaving nothing but a trace.

How it came to be remembered, or what all it just might mean,
will most likely stay a mystery, even after I depart
this delusion of my making, where were practiced ancient arts.

Crouched in shadow, I stayed hidden 'neath the foliages' dew,
bearing witness as such strange and wondrous things materialized
which practitioners of magic bid to come forth and arise!

There to conjure great illusions, each the other to out-do,
all determined that their mastery of the arts would stay the course
'til the air itself was singed by applications of such force.

I remember smelling ozone as white fire cracked the sky,
coming closer to oblivion than anyone shoud try.
Could've been those scenes were portents of impending lightning strikes,
I believe I saw them clearly, you believe just what you like.

There are "grounds" for either argument "en-lightning", you see,
what's important is that we "conduct" our-selves accordingly.

singed...this reads like a lightning bolt

the hairs on my arms were standing straight up

Midnitesun,
Thank you, memories can be so different from what actually transpired, I thought, maybe, this would strike a note with someone.

Startime55,
Thanks, such accolades will surely require a bigger hat size, but are appreciated.
Doc
