THE STORM
A drop or to is all it takes to cause some people mayhem...
But more than that arrived ashore last Tuesday in the A.M.
It stayed right here for several days...It didn’t want to go...
Our only consolation was...
At least it wasn’t snow.
The days were dreary, dark and grey...the weather fed our mood...
We argued over silly things...We almost came unglued.
We shouted at each other over things that just don’t rate...
Like kindergarten recess...
or congressional debate.
One night I’d taken all I could, and she was sound asleep...
I went into my closet for some sandals for my feet...
I quietly slipped out of my clothes and put my swim trunks on.
And then I went out my back door...
and sat down on my lawn.
The trees were swaying back and forth at frightening degrees...
The wind was blowing mightily, I thought that I would freeze.
No clothing to protect me, I was pelted by the rain...
And then a reassuring thought...
suggested this refrain...
I SEE THE STARS...I HEAR THE ROLLING THUNDER...
THY POWER THROUGHOUT
THE UNIVERSE DISPLAYED...
I felt at peace, my anger melted, quickly I was warmed...
Raindrops splashed upon my face..the remnants of the storm...
The next day when the sun came out, and grass grew high and green...
I thanked my God for sending me...
the gentle Nazarene.
