Thread lightning through needle, take
sky into My lap for a morning of sewing.
Hard making storms: careful! Don't
overfill: clouds rip very easily. A bit
more thunder and rain and --- there.
Perfect. Now to align their dark edges
to fit against the striations of purple
and green: will be pretty, once I get it
done. And then I'll stretch it across
the Heavens and watch the Humans
freak: except for a select few, they
don't know how much work I put into
this. They wouldn't know beauty if it
came, slapped them upside the head.

Karla, your poem is so characteristic of what many of us do--we let our minds wander when we are busy doing things. You've made a metaphor by associating the clouds, thunder and lightning to threading a needle and sewing. I call that "doing" by association. Excellent write.
In the morning, early, very, when you get outside on the predawn light, before the aroma of the new brewed coffee reach your nose, don't you wonder if God yawns like you do just at that very moment?
Ah perhaps not but if "the Man" decides to paint a picture of the race track with #48 Jimmie Johnson crossing the finish line under a checkered flag, this is one cowboy that will sit up and pay attention.

This one reminds me of one of the Chinese Legends that there is a princess in the sky's kingdom, who is knitting out a beautiful quilt for the sky. but sometimes the storms do come around and destroy what she has woven.
Very creative Karla. I do enjoy the wrath of God through His storms; long as no one is hurt and there's no damage. The louder the thunder, brighter the lightning, and fiercer the winds, the better. The awesome beauty of it all is absolutely amazing. Well done my friend. God bless.
