Echoes

Photobucket

Watch the lighting’s brilliance against the dark ominous sky
Listen to the rolling thunder through the otherwise
       soundless night
Feel the rain over your delicate skin pounding out
      a message from the beyond
These are the echoes of the ancient skies
The same skies that drowned entire cities,
      flooding over lives and leaving shells
The same skies that bring rain to the fields,
      nurturing and urging life to begin

Watch the cloud's whispery fingers spreading out over the vast sky
Listen to the sigh of the wind breathing into your ear the
      secrets it holds dear
Feel the sun's warmth on your face leaving kisses from
      angels of a different world
These are the echoes of the ancient skies
The same skies that created the dancing tempests,
      the gale of home wreckers
The same skies that evaporate the delicate balance of life
      under the watery blue

Watch the lives created and destroyed in a blink of an eye
Listen to the joyous laughter and the screams begging for life
Feel the love and hate fighting for victory in your heart
These are the echoes of the ancient skies
