Laura Leiser Poet Rhyme

Lord of the Skies

When like a sullen miser, the dark skies relent 
unleashing rain to pummel a parched, dry land
grey soaked clouds press forward, a grand event
whipping wind wildly like gusts of lashing strands. 

The clash and clamor of a restless storm excites
ignites imagination to great heights of wonder 
as lightning streaks and cracks the fragile sky 
and thunder presses pounding fists to plunder. 

Without reserve, wildlife gather and take cover
motherly trees engulf them with leafy arms
wildcats seek caves, foxes burrow down under
farmers herd their livestock into wooden barns. 

Each day God directs His drama in the skies 
He orchestrates every movement under the sun
His glory unfolds as we witness with our eyes
for He is Lord over all, He is the Mighty One.
