A Thunderous Message

Angry clouds were above
Displaying hatred not love 
With an angry growl 
Came a heavenly howl 
There are energy impulses 
Crackling lights dished out in doses 
Joined the powerful teaming downpour  
Angels sending a message about this star gazing tour 
Two men scheduled to be shot in the air 
No return date set for the galactic dare 
It took a little time 
But the sun came out to shine 
A natural cosmic luring test 
Challenging earthlings wanted to leave their nest 
Launch countdown never stopped 
Plan continued from the pad lot 
After placing the pair in seated positions 
Patiently waiting for the ‘go’ decision 
Commanding lift starting the space station mission 
Clock under twenty 
Big business experimenting investing their money 
Word came to abort 
Due to the weather who was the true judicial court 
Safety concerns were the reasons 
Canceling the spectacle during Florida’s rainy season 
Temporary relieving the responsibilities for the dragon crew 
Delaying a dream ready to come true 
Mother Nature commanding man to be told 
“This adventurous travel must be put on hold!
Until a new window open soon 
And then it can resume 
A space junket to the resort orbiting the moon” 
Man penciled in a date 
Saturday afternoon sounds great 
Still the meteorology influence will have the final say 
About sending this peaceful rocket on its way
