That cacophony of sound rattles glass

shaking our soul in thunderous appeal

we are in awe of Nature’s own upper class

manner toward ruling human surreal.

Sleeping soundly and a crack of heaven

stirs our mind to rest as a flash ignites

with our eyes closed we will quiet listen

knowing our lives are in Her hand these nights

when the skies release their vineyard finest

shower of sweet tears that tease our desire.

When one will seek answers of Earth’s lament

confusion demands as God shapes a fire

We are here to withstand worthy concept

With life we learn favor while we accept.
