Juggernaut

Not the crush But the GOD JUGGERNAUT! Racing hidden above a naked earth Power roiling deep within For just a day or two wet smells Liberated soil Chlorophyll At intervals sense a BURST Guts of Juggernaut at work Don't now look into the sky Clouds have no lasting eternally Action boils down here HE's left a peaceful winter place Opened up green veins And saturates the mind of spring

To quote Lawrence Welk - "Wunerful Wunderful" - I love the whole thing, but the last line is perfection!

Wow! I read it twice once before and once after looking up JUGGERNAUT. (... a word not used much in America...but, it's a good word. Especially the way you have used it herein.) I like your slant on the forces of nature...subject to the God. Enioyed reading your poem this morning. Keep writing. Love, Dane

You have the most amazing view points on life here on the planet. I love to see things from your perspective. By the by I did listen to whatever it was you told me to, (memory is not my strong suit) it was my dear intense. I shared it with a friend who liked it was well. Happy Saturday~
