When An Angry Sky Cries Out

When Angry Sky Cries Out The sky was angry, in its sad, blue heart For loss: Dark blight covering down below. The two, joined yet now much farther apart Its hurting heart began casting forth snow. Its loud thunder was not then to be found yet angry pain filled unrelenting clouds. Below it saw destruction all around blighted land, so sadly weeping in shrouds. And that mountain touching its glowing soul had recently cried out in flowing streams. Polluted and huge dust winds black as coal blasted, tarnishing its bright crimson dreams! Falling snow gave a most beautiful white. Brief covering of epic, man-made blight! Robert J.
