The Fury of Lightning


 
lightning, powerful
blue, quick-silvered, the lands
amber-torched, so quick

Hi Mike..nature reminds us how very inept we are. As in "we are going to control wind, air, water, etc." People forgot Noah or don't get it. We are so conceited! Good grief. A flood, earthquake or tsunami can do us in. So nice of you too Fave this humble haiku. What a gift. Prayers and hugs, Pangie xx

Prayers for all those affected by lightning fires in NoCal. Today's paper said over 300 fires have been started by lightning, I'm sure there are more today. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. Stay safe, dear Pangie. Hugs ~ John

Right, my friend. Insanity is man, thinking he or she can contool the planet. When in fact, men or women, cannot control their relationship with one another. Pangie xx
