fallen gods
How I love the rain in summer
the Thunder and Lightning
at night
when nature’s awesome power is displayed
for all to see
in a bolt
to pale even the brightest city.
How I love the rain in summer
its boastful roar
beckons a query:
“Must you bellow and exult in your fearsome power,
Old Man”?
How I love the rain in summer
to hear its gentle clatter -
a soft and peaceful music
played upon my bedroom roof
to ease a troubled mind into blissful sleep.
How I love the rain in summer
for the relief it brings
to a parched and thirsty land
Listen
you can hear the earth drink
after a day’s summer swelter.
How I love the rain in summer
filling the air with scent
Fresh, Clean, Renewed
an odor of union
between earth and sky.
How I love the rain in summer
for the gift it truly is
for the memories in my mind
Flowing
like streams of water
Tears
from some fallen god’s eye.
