Juggernaut

Not the crush
But the GOD
JUGGERNAUT!
Racing    hidden    above a naked earth
Power roiling deep within
For just a day or two    wet smells
Liberated soil
Chlorophyll
At intervals sense a BURST
Guts of Juggernaut at work
Don't now look into the sky
Clouds have no lasting eternally
Action boils down here

HE's left a peaceful winter place
Opened up green veins
And saturates the mind of spring

To quote Lawrence Welk - "Wunerful Wunderful" - I love the whole thing, but the last line is perfection!

Wow! I read it twice once before and once after looking up JUGGERNAUT. (... a word not used much in America...but, it's a good word. Especially the way you have used it herein.) I like your slant on the forces of nature...subject to the God. Enioyed reading your poem this morning. Keep writing. Love, Dane

You have the most amazing view points on life here on the planet. I love to see things from your perspective. By the by I did listen to whatever it was you told me to, (memory is not my strong suit) it was my dear intense. I shared it with a friend who liked it was well. Happy Saturday~
