The clouds have kidnapped the morning – v10

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 interact

the plans of the Father.

The heavens hold a secret

held within their grasp,

something we cannot know

that we do not 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 is not visible at all,

the sky coming closer

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

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

to believe, to experience,

something yet unknown,

for us to take on faith;

the sky holds the secret

written on the heavens

something yet unknown

revealed in God’s time only

to His children alone.

What if this led the news,

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

The clouds have kidnapped the morning – v5

an earnest game, something more

holding the sun for ransom

to repay an ancient debt

an unspoken recording

in the ledger of heaven,

the story of life

players on stage, out of the background,

clouds have kidnapped the morning

the sun not visible at all

the sky coming nearer

descending from the heavens

clouds pulled toward the ground
