A Glorious Gift

I looked to the sky just after the storm So I’ll tell you just what I think I can see the oranges, reds and grays Mixed in with the colors of pink. I’ve always been amazed at the hand of God As He created the storms in the sky With the electrified air that smells so good As the clouds move slowly by. The evening storms hold the most beautiful scenes As the sun begins to set It mixes the colors of red and blue And then it changes to violet. I can see the silhouette of the distant trees Against the sky that was heavenly made And I’ll always remember just how I felt As the sunlight started to fade. I can feel the peace and serenity As the clouds begin to lift That’s when I realized what I just received I received a glorious gift. So it doesn’t really matter what I think When I look and wonder why ‘Cause this gift I received came from God Himself As He put it in the sky.

I love the smell of the air just before and after a storm.

Thanks Richard, I wrote this poem 4 years ago while watching a storm go by. It was at dusk, and the colors in the sky were just breathtaking. The smell of the air just after the thunderstorm had that Ionized clean smell to it. I then noticed that the natural beauty touched me to my soul. A gift from God Himself......Roger

so here was your last post on Aug. 16. This was a very nice one, my friend. I especially like the last few lines about it being a gift God put in the sky. It's so very true.
