Drama At Daylight

A weathered watchman witnesses possible perils passing through the skies at the dawn of daylight. His eagle eyes are alert and attentive ever attracted to the unfolding horizon that hovers over his head. He glimpses an aggrevated glare a red raged, colored temper tantrum a telltale sign of trouble approaching from afar. Soon the sinking sunlight succumbs to sinister swaths of bold, blackened clouds as pellets of rain begin to pound downward. Heaven’s guard hurls down a litany of lightening crackling upon the earth’s crust, causing the thirsty terrain to tremble in anticipation. As the skies unfurl like a didactic drama driving its point home purposefully a sudden shift of shadows allows the sun to once again regain its glory in the skies. As the freshly scented dew descends upon the land, a radiant rainbow rises like a multicolored river in the air and the weathered watchman smiles. Written on 3/23/2018

This poem is what happens when a writer smashes the mirror we all hold up to our world and then puts it back together in a unique way. Lovely.
