The clouds have kidnapped the morning – v8

What if this led the news,

truth beyond comprehension,

the weather forecast more honest;

How little we really know

about the weather patterns

how the forces of nature intersect.

The heavens hold a secret,

held within their grasp,

something we cannot know;

Ancient struggles evident

written upon the sky, in the soil,

in the dust of the earth.

The clouds have kidnapped the morning,

the sun not visible at all,

the sky coming closer;

Descending from the heavens

clouds pulled toward the ground

hungry for its bounty.

Holding the sun for ransom,

to repay an ancient debt,

an unspoken recording;

In the ledger of heaven

in the story of life

spoken from sealed lips.

The mystery yet remaining,

something yet unknown,

for us to take on faith;

The sky holds the secret

written on the heavens

revealed in God’s time alone.
