Red Reign Of Lightning



Thunder
Red reign of
Lightning.

Tonight lightning
Is red

And red the towns
And dreaming homes
from above viewed.

RED is clearly a symbolic color In this poem and you imply it embodies a message of doom. It links the heavenly world above and the earthly life of the village below so that cosmic destiny and earthly destiny are mysteriously mixed, and probably will share a common fate, but your poem is one of portent not explanation. I doubt many of the villagers are aware of this reality as they pursue their ordinary lives of work and play. But the Poet Seer and the Monsignor are both blessed or cursed with premonitions.
