Watching the dying day, and the slowly gathering clouds, as the air thickens with humidity a few large drops of rain fall. Unnoticed.
The church prays,
We all join in picture aided prophesy, and the gathering dark and bright flashes of lightening are ignored as God speaks to those who are intentionally taking time to listen.
Suddenly the CRASH, like a giant tea tray falling down heaven's stairway, then the instant deluge as the heavens open, the air is cleared and the storm gets going.
If only,
Unfortunately tonight is limited to a few large drops of rain and an impressive light show, the air thickening as the heat is released from the ground and held captive by the clouds, the temperature rising.
We wait, eat ice cream, drink beer and sweat. Until. Finally the day's heat is spent and a gental breeze off the mountians freshens the city.
Picture aided prophesy is awsome! And kind of scary. It is so immence!
ReplyDeleteAs are thunder storms. I sat on the beach and watched one travel north across the Irish sea and stop over Holyhead the other day. It was amazing to be looking at such close quarters at heavy rain and hear the thunder but being outside it.
A beautilfully poetic depiction of your day.
