The clouds have kidnapped the morning – v9

What if this led the news,

truth beyond comprehension,

the weather forecast more honest

that the clouds have kidnapped the morning;

How little we really know

about the weather patterns

how the forces of nature intersect

the plans of the Father.

The heavens hold a secret,

held within their grasp,

something we cannot know

that we can’t understand;

Ancient struggles evident

written upon the sky, in the soil,

in the dust of the earth

in the living creatures.

The clouds have kidnapped the morning,

the sun not visible at all,

the sky coming closer

down toward the ground;

Descending from the heavens

clouds pulled toward the ground

hungry for its bounty

the harvest of the earth.

Holding the sun for ransom,

to repay an ancient debt,

an unspoken recording

a libretto, a song;

In the ledger of heaven

in the story of life

spoken from sealed lips

written across the heavens.

The mystery yet remaining,

something yet unknown,

for us to take on faith

to believe, to experience;

The sky holds the secret

written on the heavens

revealed in God’s time alone

to His children.
