A Test from Nature

A Test from Nature Months passed since the last rains came, The land was parched, with plants, birds and animals dying from thirst, Some creatures were braying, chirping, crying, and praying, all helplessly shouting rain, rain, rain as they invoked God's name. Overhead, the dark clouds, heavy with rain, drifted away and never did burst. Everyone was disappointed, but many continued praying, while some asked, Will the clouds come again? In their plight of thirst, all living things are the same. Each player is playing a survival game. A few shouted they were going insane and wished a miracle would bring some rain. People were puzzled and asked why the dark clouds left, but no one could explain. People made promises to change attitudes and behaviour and never to complain. They believed only the Creator of the Universe could ease their suffering and pain They believed only the Creator could open the skies and let it pour precious rain. Reality is beautiful at its best. Reality is stern when it gives a test. Reality is joy, laughter, sorrow and pain. Reality keeps us entertained. by Zyrool
