After the Storm

There is a stillness after the raging storm, a quiet only disturbed by birds' songs; so many joyful sounds now heard the coos, caws, and chirping none lagging Solid clouds still amassed, no zigzagging from lightning flash, just gentle Hummingbirds' songs heard and windchimes' music undergird Is the Master a different scene staging ? Yes, His plans will soon be in motion set. This planet is facing changes unseen before; the angels very soon will no more hold the wind's destructive force_ and yet Will He soon to earth come His own to glean? His own He'll claim I know; then winds let go Sponsor: Craig Cornish Contest: Miltonic Sonnet Written: May 01, 2014

Dear Sara, There is such a profound statement in your poem. Indeed, there are moments of harmony after life's "storm," and I do believe our "planet is facing changes unseen before." Judgment Day awaits and people of faith will be protected from "the wind's destructive force. This is excellent, dear. Congratulations on your success in the contest. Love, Carolyn

It is strange how the weather can become so calm before the storm. As if someone, with great power, is controlling it. This is a wonderful write, Sara. Good luck in Craig's contest!.... Thank you for the kind visit to my work. :)

I thought of you as I saw reports of the storms going through your part of Georgia. You had my prayers. I hope you are unscathed. There is a stillness after the storm, with the birds singing in celebration that they survived. As far as His coming is concerned, I fear you may be right. As Yeats wrote: "the center cannot hold". And I feel we have long lost it. Peace...BH
