The Meanings of Irrelevant Gibberish

So here's a poem I wrote a few days after returning from Moniack Mhor. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet, but I really enjoyed writing it, and maybe you'll enjoy reading it too.

The Meanings of Irrelevant Gibberish
by Sarah Hutchison


Silver?
Lightning. 
Fast, forked,
crackling.

Crackling?
Fire.
Crimson, gold,
fury.

Fury?
Emotion.
Provoking, vibrant,
bold.

Bold?
Colour.
Startling, inspring,
mind-blowing.

Mind-blowing?
Imagination.
Curious, interesting,
passion.

Passion?
Love.
Everything, nothing,
unpredictable.

Unpredictable?
People.
Thoughtful, thoughtless,
dead.
