The Lightning
Posted: Fri Jul 22, 2016 1:27 am
There was a time last summer
when I watched the sky light up
and
it was cool
just like the days
in Colorado
and in the Northwest
when I would watch and listen to the storms
But then
a fire started
and
things happened
and
we had to evacuate
and
then more storms happened on August 14 in Chelan WA
and further evacuation was required.
Now tonight
I sit and watch
and listen
the sky lights up
the thunder booms
and my heart is jumping out of my chest
Earlier we watched and listened and I was okay somehow. It was pretty cool. It was accompanied by rain, the weather has been milder this summer and we have had some rain
I want to like this weather
like I did before
always a reminder
that man is not in charge
but God is
Mother Nature is
whatever your higher power is
is in charge
not man
