Storm that breaks the seal
on the dome that holds the waters
of the heavens apart from waters
that brooded life into creation
Storm that breaks the heat
even as fire is splitting the sky,
falling to the ground wrapped
in quenching rain
Mirrored against the glory of God,
the bow formed by the prism of love
arced across the quivering earth —
how I wish it were already kindled!
Jesus said, “I came to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! (Luke 12:49)
