Echoes of a StormThe thunder rolls across the sky,
right after the flash of light
spreads across the horizon,
and it echoes…
echoes…
long and rumbling.
Its deep bass crashes
and shakes our very foundation.
The accompanying wind
blows menacingly,
and the falling rain becomes
a stinging downpour.
The once tiny droplets
now becoming a raging river,
washing away at the earth,
as it tries to sink into the...

Of Coming StormThe Spirit’s rise of coming storm,
Spoken before first fertile drop.
How did I know? It seems the norm.
The Spirit’s rise of coming storm.
Thunder, lightning, and blust’ry form.
Husband says, he didn’t hear a drop.
The Spirit’s rise of coming storm,
Spoken before first fertile drop.

ThunderstormThe fury of a thunderstorm
Should not be a surprise,
For prior to its sudden booms
Come dark-as-nighttime skies.
The wind whips up, the branches sway,
The air cools down a bit
And lightning zigzags right before
The thunder seems to hit.
Then with a crash the storm attacks,
The booming close and loud,
Which causes shrieks and running feet,
Dispersing any crowd.
Umbrellas open, wipers snap
And...

Puddling Tears
6/17/2025
Before Heaven began showing its anger,
stillness claimed ownership of the midnight sky.
But distant flashes instantly brought thunder,
I awoke from slumber thinking dawn was nigh.
Then that precise moment clouds began to weep,
were cloud tears giving my home town a purging.
Tears were puddling and I thought is there no end,
my interrupted rest was at God’s urging?

GUARDIAN OF THE NIGHT- POTD
A wild unpredictable stormy night
Harsh wind squeals through window panes
Random deafening claps of thunder
Lightning illuminates the night sky again
Disgruntled angry waves crash loudly
Heavy rain pounds on the roofs slate tiles
Mother nature is enraged tonight
Unrelenting , unforgiving , hostile
Inside the walls of the old stone cottage
A sacred wood fire blazes bright
Radiating great warmth and infinite...

Dark Steel DaySkies of gray
Skies of gloom
Storm clouds say
Bringing doom
Dark steel day
Blustering winds
Turmoil cloud
Sleeting sends
Hail stones loud
Dark steel day
Storm surrounds
Gale force wind
Beating down
Without end
Dark steel day
Icy air
Breath of steam
No despair
Just winter’s dream
Dark steel day
Storms they rise
Then they go
No surprise
If you know
Dark steel day
Dark steel days ahead and behind
Dark steel days on my mind
Dark steel days good and...

Toccata and Fugue in D MinorIt begins with a sky-split cry—
a blade of wind slicing the stillness,
gulls scattering like torn pages
as the sea holds its breath.
Then comes the first thunderstroke,
not from clouds, but from below—
the ocean remembering its anger.
The sea begins to speak in tongues—
lightning dances across the waves.
The ocean surges, climbs the wind,
rising in spiraled towers of spray—
a mind...

Storm There is a storm in the atmosphere,
Its raging winds bring waves of fear.
When your footing starts to slip,
Hold to the covenant - don’t lose your grip.
Grab ahold, don’t hesitate,
The One who's sure-footed is never late.
In the chaos, find that one Word so true,
Rediscover the Phrase that strengthens you.
Take that Word into the storm,
Make the enemy...

Empire State Building and LightningHow many times has the Empire State Building been struck by lightning?
I was guessing three or four then I remembered how old she is.
So, I guessed twenty times.
If I took that times five, I would be a lot closer to an accurate guess....

Stand I will stand in the midst of my circumstances
I will stand in the midst of the storms
I will stand in the midst of my enemies
I will stand through it all
When I feel like I can't go on
When I feel like all hope is gone
When I feel like happiness will never come
I will...

Fulcrum of a Rose
When the raspberry horizon
is curled up,
shaping caramel-lilac lips
of the cashmere kismet,
singing in a choir of cherry chivalry
and honey-glazed fireflies ~
those snowy stars
simmering in summer silence,
