The Sky Cries

(Haiku Series)

The sky cries tears now
Loud thunder rumbles the ground
The storm is at hand

Light electrified
A streak on the horizon
Fear sparks in man's hearts

Danger dances strong
In the voice of the wind's song
Singing its fury

Trees bend, leaves rattle
The branches weak are scattered
The storm is going

The sky has brightened
The dim, gray, dark, sky no more
The aftermath shows

So passes a day
Cherish, no matter how bleak
A new season's peak

I saw "sadly" in your comment. Some races are enslaved others disposed. We wonder what God is doing. A slave brought me here. I do not sorrow for that. That slave is in heaven never to be enslaved again. While God tries to make heaven on earth. What the real cost of the life we now live is not measured in dollars but lives. This torture we endure we endure for posterity. To give them something we never had.

In this world tis truly hard as to cherish but another day, sweet precious Lucinda ~ To be absolutely honest about it all and as for this fear ? Only the blind would hold such be this; actually ~ But I do love how in the ending verse comes about as Yes no matter how bleak the gray grim day may somehow seem ? A new season most assuredly shall peak * Thank you for your kind visit; gets myself through another day ~ Love, John
