Visions of a Storm
As daylight slowly dissipates
an assembly of dark clouds gather
moist petrichor air lingers
burdened beneath its weight.
A restless sensation
pulses within me
I am alert and watchful
as I look expectantly
into the vast horizon.
In an instant, I view a flash
a white hot x-ray
a jagged razor of lightening
streaking across the sky.
Pregnant raindrops
pummel down from above
puncturing the dry landscape
satisfying soak starved plants.
The scene is brilliant and intense
as nature’s hidden anatomy
is revealed, and maybe a glimpse
of the heart and soul of heaven.
I can feel the earth reverberating
beneath my feet, shaking with joy
as if celebrating life
with a reckless abandon.
Brilliant sky scapes transform
minute by minute, as I witness
a living drama, a kaleidoscope
of heavenly halos
a masterpiece to behold.
As I watch with rapt attention
awestruck by the power and beauty
that surround me, I whisper
a prayer of quiet reverence
thanking God for His grand display.
