Thunder and Lightning

Flashing lightning sparkling crystals falling from the night sky battering hail as a full cold moon begins tucking herself behind dark clouds circling around her warning of coming storm Opening God's temple each strike hurling fire from his altar a swift sword breaking through clouds shooting bolts of white arrows from the sky Planting electrical rods pulsating into fields falling flashing diamonds shattering on the ground when he thunders waters in Heaven's roar like an untamed beast then slowly grumbling echoes carried Over hills and valleys growling murmurs wind rises howling whistles subsides falling away carried upon night air becoming deadly quite clouds disappear as the moon shows her face stars twinkle upon the sky in cold clearness of night

The imagery in this poem was so vivid, that I felt like I was really there and watching this storm pass. An amazing poem, and very expressive. Another fantastic poem from you, Liam!...Thank you very much for the great comments, as always!
