Blessings
The evening sky filled with cloud of promise.
Darkness fell, and with it came gusts …..
Of errant wind, swaying branches ‘pon leafy trees
Then, as I closed too the curtain,
A flash of promise!
It filled the night sky … few seconds passed
Before a prolonged roar of thunder.
The storm progressed eastward from the southwest
Bringing lashings of welcome rain
To ease summer drought
And joy in me that our planet earth has respite
I have prayed for this.
I rise, often from my bed,
Just to listen to the patter upon the grass.
It is inspiring me!… the rain continues.
The lightening and rumbling thunder passes on.
The whole evokes a feeling of normalcy,
Putting one’s heart at peace.
Amen.
