Notes About The Poem

No matter how bad the storm is...the sun will eventually shine again.

Keep the faith...there is a God :)

The Silver Lining

In its thunderous voice, the sky spoke 
"Let the rains fall upon you" 
"Beware the hurricanes" ...the wind screamed 
Electricity filled the atmosphere
Gods raised their rods 
Forests trampled by mudslides 
Snow blanketed the plains, and... 
The deserts oases claimed to be real 
Then, 
Showing its face; the sun 
Spoke in warmth...
 "Life"
Let there be!

The sun bestows so many gift to we mortals. Light and warmth, are just a few of its life giving properties. Its even responsible for the rain. Without its heat to evaporate the water, that will become rain, there would be none. We exist because of the sun (and God's Grace to keep it burning) Your poem is a wonderful tribute to the power of our sun. Well done Charlie. A favorite.
