the rain

Folder: 
The Rest

cleansing the ground

taking and making new life

washing cares away

but the rain will not come



where is the rain?

it should be here by now

you can smell it in the air

but the rain has not come



the dry earth cries out

wanting respite

needing the rain

but the rain will not come



the creatures suffer

lying in the heat

waiting for the rain

but the rain has not come



the wind blows

driving the clouds before it

darkening the sky

but the rain will not come



the clouds gather

blocking the horizon

calling down thunder

but the rain has not come



lightning strikes

creating chaos

the animals run

but the rain will not come



the tree is gone

the sun returns

the clouds recede

but the rain never came
