Clouds on the Horizon

No one knows about that day or hour, 

not even the angels in heaven, 

nor the Son, 

but only the Father.

Matthew 24:36 

Raise Your hand, Lord
to calm the winds
and the torrential rains.
Still the turbulent earth
and quench its fire.

Are we in those days, Lord?
You said I was not to know,
yet prophets
speak of Your wrath
without knowing Your name.

There are soldiers mounted for war
and dark clouds on the horizon.
I hear You say
"not today,"
and remind me that only fools
predict the moment.
