Give Thunder Its Due

Give Thunder its due.
The ancients knew
Thunder has its own will,
not an aside, mere detail of the heavens. 

The wind rents the sky
drawing the eye
to cathedrals above,
vaulted chambers of light shifting and alive. 

Naves sculpted of clouds,
arches allow
colored rivers of light,
the sky more beautiful than any stone church. 

Give Thunder its due.
The ancients knew…
Leave sanctuary walls,
breathe the glory of the sky, touch the heavens.
