Lightning

Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind,
    your lightning lit up the world;
    the earth trembled and quaked.

Psalm 77:18 NIV

The heavens and the earth were breaking up. Wild, forked lightnings played about the mountain side. Sudden thunder boomed like musketry… Storm after storm came hurtling down from the heights till night fell and when at last the noise sank into stillness, the great diamond stars hung trembling in the wide arch of deep stainless sapphire.
