Rain...Life
The Heavens open up, Finally... As if they can no longer hold back As if they know They held back way too long Now there's no relenting They pour as if that's all they can do Sometimes, a steady downpour, Sometimes, a quiet drizzle Stopping now and then to catch a breath The Earth parched and thirsty Takes it all in...Life depends on it The thick black clouds hover and linger Dark. Brooding. Contemplating. Lightning and Thunder withdraw The Sun and Moon step back too Letting the Clouds have their way The Heavens open up like never before As if they know They held back way too long The waters fall and stumble Sometimes harming all that stands in their way Sometimes cooling all that simmered once Some good, some bad...some raging on They must learn to flow... To flow gently... Carving new crevices and paths The waters learn to flow...to flow quietly Life learns to flow too...to flow quietly.
