Lord of the Skies

When like a sullen miser, the dark skies relent unleashing rain to pummel a parched, dry land grey soaked clouds press forward, a grand event whipping wind wildly like gusts of lashing strands. The clash and clamor of a restless storm excites ignites imagination to great heights of wonder as lightning streaks and cracks the fragile sky and thunder presses pounding fists to plunder. Without reserve, wildlife gather and take cover motherly trees engulf them with leafy arms wildcats seek caves, foxes burrow down under farmers herd their livestock into wooden barns. Each day God directs His drama in the skies He orchestrates every movement under the sun His glory unfolds as we witness with our eyes for He is Lord over all, He is the Mighty One. 12/28/2021 Updated on 3/23/2023

A masterful verse, Laura - my kind of poetry. Many thanks for your kind and appropriate comments re my recent post, An Election Year Prayer. As St Paul said we must pray without ceasing for our nation and the world. Best to you as you continue on your poetical journey - Bob H

Nice write! It is almost 2022, yet the Department of the Interior still does not make any attempt to prevent/harvest runoff from a storm . . . .

Excellent writing, Laura, deserving of more recognition. I particularly loved this line: "thunder presses its pounding fists to plunder." I'd like to see this a POTD, frankly.
