Light-Lances and Sharp Fury

The antagonistic clash of nature's
Titans again, to enliven the evening
hours in yet another heavenly
provocation, fearfully entertaining
the mortals below, anxious to be
excused from the family quarrel.

Ill-mannered and -natured offspring
leaping to challenge each other when
their creator is elsewhere absorbed.
A crash in the twilight hours as an
immensely powerful dagger of light
slashes the cold, dark ceiling above.

Shattering the peace as sparkling
white shards of dangerously glaciated
top-of-the-world sprinkles the wary
atmosphere. Angry those elements;
blinding light-lances and sharp fury.

Peace-shattering, air-shuddering
rejoinders, the clatter of hail as
night fully descends, drawing the
final curtain on the drama. Though
backstage, the hostilities remain joined.
