Tropical Storm

On a hot, muggy evening in late spring, in Florida, Mother Nature was doing her thing. Bolts of lightning: a spectacular show hovering over the Gulf of Mexico. Flashes with white, yellow and orange hues glowing repeatedly with variations of views. In the distance, a constant rumble of thunder with jagged firebolts seeming to rip the sky asunder. Was the sky in anger, with a warning to tell? Was it lighting up the gates of heaven…or hell? The message is quite clear to describe what I saw: Respect our natural world and regard it with awe.
