Lake Storm
Relaxing on the
clubhouse porch for respite
Any imagined
problem, decide I, to forget it
Solitude under
shading comfort of a huge red oak
Subtle wind
change have my sharpened senses woke
Thunderheads
tower tall on far horizon yonder
Lightning shards
portend an awesome wonder
Rolling rumbles
rattle roughly on a trained ear
Still, many
myriad miles away to clearly hear
Acute aware now
of impending stealthily danger
Clandestine
tempest in disguise, never a stranger
Sweet smell of
freshness harbored on tossed air
Purple-green
robe does approaching front wear
A cooling breeze
precedes the torrent threatened
White flashes
streak as echoing crashes deafened
Upon the quaking
black-chop surface of the lake
Wind-swept
crests of wild white-caps soon wake
In safe harbor
on headland beyond violent fray
Appreciate show
of fearsome powerful display
Tranquil times
return when turbulence passed
Such slight
disruption of good day can’t last
Good against
evil battles in lifetime are daily fought
Victory
proclaimed, the altercation a fleeting thought
Value refuge in
pure light of saintly virtue glow
Saved soul in
Father, Son and Holy Spirit flow
Amen!
