A Tribute to Recent Weather

 

Rain

 

Returning to the land from high above and at intense speeds, a myriad of heavy drops hit the dry land,

Quenching its thirst after a long time of skies either too blue or thin clouds unable to stay in order to

Pacify the green where we walk and obtain most of our food so life can continue on lush soil that we

Often take for granted as our world would be nothing if the dear rain suddenly stopped everywhere.

Nighttime slowly approaches and the rain continues to fall with a thick mist blanket that our beloved

Mountains produce in order to hide its mysteries amongst its trails and valleys also needing water for

Life to green in the form of delicate leaves to create a green sea full of massive waves to astound eyes,

Keeping the scenery special with the gift of sky water made of tiny droplets that has traveled for miles  

Just to provide a few units of relief on dirt that has dried out and cracked during the wait for an almost

Impossible occasion where everything is bathed in grey where the sun can’t reach, so the ground can

Hold onto the gift of nature and recover until the next mysterious time when the skies open up again.

Great bodies of water aren’t everywhere, but rain can help to provide life as the drops travel in soil to

Find deep reserves that spread out to dryer areas to create a small slice of paradise in places where an

Echo of precipitation is only seen by those who call the middle of nowhere their home and sanctuary.

Deluges and blizzards can’t happen every day as too much land would be buried in ugly mud or quickly

Covered in too much ice for young, fragile plants to reach the surface and feel the warmth of a gentle

Blue sky graced with the light of the sun and grow taller to obtain more of the light that produces life.

Across our world there are places that gets too much rain or barely enough for green to thrive in such

Zones of desolation without human intervention to bring water to places of vast sand and heavy stone

Yearning in silence for a few tiny flowers or thin leaves to appear, providing a little color in places of

Extreme isolation in sparsely populated landscapes where even the thinnest of clouds seldom wander.

Whether we get a few drops every day or a small flood once a month, we all need rain to heal when

Victories over our hardships take forever and the sounds of raindrops on rooftops and through trees

Unlocking our minds and soon our bodies so we can rest tranquilly as the skies continue to rage above.

Tomorrow the rain will be gone, but as the sun warms the ground, new vapors slowly rise into the air

Soaring together to form a new cloud high in the sky, gathering relief to bestow on another dry place.
