as chaos begins, furious winds stir
trees to dance and clap as rain falls pounding
the earth in display of divine order.
Did You carefully construct this exhibit
of emptying the sky and feeding the earth,
to provoke awe in onlookers? A hint,
perhaps, to the source of life and rebirth?
The storm passes, out of the violence,
regeneration, and everything is
suddenly calm and clean in the silence
that speaks of third day encounters in His
story of the plan to reawaken
the barren dry hearts of women and men.
