LIGHTNING by HELEN FIELD WATSON

First Line: MAD THUNDER IS A SEAMSTRESS
Last Line: BUT HER KNOT OF GOLD, THE SUN.
Subject(s): LIGHTNING; SEA; SKY; SUN; THUNDER; LIGHTNING RODS; OCEAN;
Mad Thunder is a seamstress.
She sews, with threads of gold,
The sea and sky together,
With stitches quick and bold.

And yet, so deft her sewing
The sky and sea are one
At dawn. No thread is showing. ...
But her knot of gold, the sun.
