Lake Storm
Relaxing on the clubhouse porch for respite
Any imagined problem, decide to just 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
