Across Realms

Across vast realms
Where clouds collide
Like scarred chariots
In rush hour traffic
Storms boil over
Fed by fiery wombs of dawn’s inferno 
With flames of sunrise fire,  
As thrashing rain
Plants rainbow seeds
In metaphoric soils
To harvest far flung sunbows 
From cerulean fields.

Sun and storm wedded
Hopefulness 
Whispers 
A haunting covenant
Drenched by hues of hope 
Shielded by the sun.

Binding misty edges
Of edgeless domains
Revelations 
In beatific splendor soar
Kaleidoscopic pergolas 
Highlight sky bound wings
Tinted by ethereal arches 
When shimmering puddles
Unfold across Heaven’s doorstep
Across realms 
Bathed in mystic grandeur.

Your poem creates such lovely vibes. Love the comparison of clouds colliding in the vast realms like scarred chariots in rush hour traffic. The realm of the sky with 'misty edges or edgeless domains' highlights the vastness of the cerulean sky. Indeed your poems stretch our imagination to edgeless domains. Lovely poem as ever dear Sam.

Your vividly descriptive poem expresses a reverential awe of those "realms"--sources of mystery, Sam. Janice

Hi Janice, thank you many times over for your beautiful and gracious words! This theme turned out to be a journey into the gossamer mystery in the realm of the rainbow - a journey into the covenant! So happy you enjoyed it! Blessings!
