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!
