Opalescent

shimmering colors
remind me of angel's wings -
opalescent clouds

He Opened Up the Heavens ...

The shhhhhhhhh of rain
silences all in its falling -
none dare disturb the holy
hush except a rumble of
thunder echoing through
celestial corridors of sky.

Congregants below kneel
in thanksgiving, for God
heard their cries for mercy:
He opened up the Heavens
what had been sewn shut -
beautiful, lifegiving r a i n!
