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
The Sun and Moon step back
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.
