~Electrical Storm ~
You first let your presence be known by your scent on the warm
evening wind, summer’s sweet perfume.
You announce your impending arrival at first
softly and then with more insistence with rumblings and tremors.
The wind that gathers and precludes you carries a promise of your power and strength to come.
All living things are sent into a hurried readiness like the crew of a full masted ship coming into hard weather.
Before the night is over, I will have watched you spend yourself upon the Earth, the object of your desire.
You are pushed and pulled along by forces that you yourself do not recognize.
It is you that seemingly has all the power to pressure the surface of the Sea, Earth’s water source.
The Earth herself anticipates your arrival and reaches up to
meet you.
There is an explosive exchange in your meeting with what seems to be a rending of the sky that makes both the heavens and the earth shudder.
You are locked in a shattering, dazzling embrace for only a split second. While we here on the earth are momentarily blinded by that brilliance, you are already preparing for the next moment that will make us stand both in fear and wonder.
The Storm and the Earth rest only for a moment before continuing on until He is completely spent, and the Earth herself is satiated.
And as the rain begins to fall softly from the heavy clouds above, the Earth can relish in the nurturing and growth that you have given to her as a gift in the night.
