On a Dull Gray Day


The neutral banality of our days,
Lulls us into a monotonous routine.
We fall into habits which become ruts.
Time rolls along with little fluctuation.
We do not live in anticipation.

All unknown to us, change is taking place.
Behind the scenes, with only subtle clues,
Earth-shattering events are being planned.
Giant puzzle pieces are falling into place.
We are oblivious.

Until….
Lightning strikes.
The wall comes down.
The towers fall.
Cancer happens.
A loved one dies.
A volcano erupts.
The dam breaks.
Our world ends…or
The world ends.

The sky rips from east to west.
A trumpet sounds, and He returns to reign.
Unexpected on a routine day,
A gray nothing sort of day is electrified,
And bursts into a full spectrum of radiance.

Will we be caught off-guard….empty-handed?
