Mother Earth, the Sage

In the depth of the night, a concerto commenced,
With drums of thunder and a melody of rain.

Wind flutes played loud sniveling notes,
Carrying pulsating tunes in blustery tones.

Streaks of lightening, with their baton of light,
Led the blasting orchestra with dynamic might.

Trees swayed wildly, leaves scattered with force,
Rain soaked the paths, shattering dense shadows.

As dawn tiptoed, with the sun’s gentle caress,
Melodic whistles, cheeps and croaks took the stage.

Blue bonnets danced, greeting butterflies and bees,
Jays and cardinals capered under the radiant trees.

Hummingbirds frolicked around the buds of paintbrush, 
Grackles called out in an enthusiastic rush.

Scissor-tailed flycatchers hovered, tails unfurled,
Charmed their mates with their squeaks and chirrs.

Pinkladies and Firewheels in their spectacular array,
Welcomed the day, luring pollinators their way.

The storm disappeared, giving way to a tranquil zephyr,
Joyfulness prevailed, in awe of Mother Earth’s endeavor.

What a beautiful painting of "Mother Earth's endeavor" as your storm affects "blue bonnets," "hummingbirds," and the flora and fauna of "mother Earth." Love the reference to "flycatchers." We have resident flycatchers in our backyard who love to sit on poles and bathe in the rain! There is an inherent loveliness in the power of your storm. Sending you blessings of spring joy and my gratitude for your visit!

Such beautiful twilight imagery. I can hear the wild beasts and birds welcoming the rise of the sun. Yes, she is the ultimate sage and we her heretics.
