Thunder and Lightning
Flashing lightning
sparkling crystals
falling from
the night sky
battering hail
as a full cold moon
begins tucking herself
behind dark clouds
circling around her
warning of coming storm
Opening God's temple
each strike
hurling fire
from his altar
a swift sword
breaking through clouds
shooting bolts
of white arrows
from the sky
Planting electrical rods
pulsating into fields
falling flashing diamonds
shattering on the ground
when he thunders
waters in Heaven's roar
like an untamed beast
then slowly grumbling
echoes carried
Over hills and valleys
growling murmurs
wind rises
howling whistles subsides
falling away
carried upon night air
becoming deadly quite
clouds disappear
as the moon
shows her face
stars twinkle
upon the sky
in cold
clearness of night
