Heavenly Hand

Cloud shaped like a Hand in the sky

Sighting in the sky.

Fingers reaching down.

Is it Hand of God?

Haiku Horizons Weekly Challenge Week #239 prompt: Hand

This is a photo I took of what I saw in the Oregon sky a couple days ago while riding in the car as my grand-daughter was driving.

The cloud image looked so much like a giant hand with four fingers showing that I had to snap a pic of it and then I see that Haiku Horizons Prompt for this week is “hand”!

Perfect Poem Prompt! 😊

And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.  Genesis 9:12-16 KJV

Happy Cloud

Cloud with a happy face--Senryu poem
Original Poetry and Photograph by Leona J. Atkinson ©2015

This little cloud was hovering over Memphis Airport the day we landed there.
While we were waiting for the Hotel Shuttle to pick us up I happened to look up at the sky and saw only this one cloud and snapped a picture. Just yesterday I was going thru my pictures and I noticed the cloud has a happy face!
Do you see the two eyes and smiling mouth?  This is not Photoshopped!
We had a Happy Cloud welcoming us to Memphis! 🙂
