A lightning flash

Shooting across the clear blue sky

The beautiful day broken

With the sound of thunder

Rumbling overhead


Big droplets

Crystal clear rain 

Pouring out of the clouds

Drenching everything in sight


A stormy

Gloomy

Rainy

Day


Words like thunder

Tearing people down

Creating walls

Destroying relationships


Actions like lightning

Hurting 

Destroying

The perfect life that was planned

 

Forcing days into a slump

Without light


Until a voice appears

Compliments

Kindness

Making a rainbow

Reaching up to calm the angry sky 

With its beautiful display of color


Red

Orange

Yellow

Green 

Blue and Indigo

Violet


Stopping the storm

Making the bad good


On the worst days

When it feels like the world is caving in

Thinking the thunder will overtake our heads

And that lightning will always follow us

 

 


A rainbow

Will always appear


Erasing the dread

Creating a beautiful painting


Of what lives can be like

If everyone would overcome

The storms in their heads

And work towards the rainbow overhead


When people work together

To help others overcome their storms

And work up to their rainbows


Because you never know

What someone is going through

And helping someone out is the best way

To create the beauty 

And erase the

Guilt,

Anger,

Worries

And the storm

Swirling through our heads


The most raging storm

Can become

The most beautiful rainbow of all

Cheer up my brother live in the sunshine, we'll understand it, all by and by.

Do you mean this in a biblical sense, or is this just something you came up with?
