Burst

Burst
Abstract noun
The act, the creation, its moment
Like a new star and its high
That only God knows, up in the firmament
Burst
Everything that is born is a burst
Everything that sprouts, that thrives, that grows
Rare burst like a flower on the stone
Abundant burst like wheat in the wind
Other times I burst simply
In the present indicative
Like the current of a furious dog
Or the hands of an active farmer
Sometimes even dangerously
Like an accident in a radioactive oven
Sometimes, just because I get nervous, I burst
Sometimes, only because I am alive!
Burst, the immediate reaction
To every feeling of dejection
Burst, the heart saying: Beat!
To every blow of suffering
Burst, that thunder in the woods
And the immensity of the sound at that moment
