By Joyce Jacobo
[Author’s Note: Based on a thunderstorm enjoyed several months ago. I’m hoping for another one shortly, alongside plenty of rainfall.]
Last night I watched a performance
high in the skies
where murky clouds formed a stage
as streaks of powerful light
blazed through the darkness
in grand arches
Each flash
In the wake of others
akin to skilled dancers
choreographed by nature
while every crackle
echoed like earthly applause
For their audience was the world
as they commanded attention
amid their powerful bursts
confident
skilled
admirable
…teachers who
challenge us to take the stage
in our own unique ways
to light up the heavens
for all to see
Lovely!

Calling it a performance in the sky is simply brilliant!
Lightning can be truly magical!
And I hope for rain too! Our earth needs hydration 🙂

Agreed. I hope we both get that much-needed rain. Here, there is apparently supposed to be some rain on the way, but those storm clouds have a weird tendency to swerve around my area. It’s uncanny, but hopefully not this time. ^_^
