The Tears of the Sky

Drip drip go the clouds, Crying tears of insurmountable sorrow. The emotions of the universe overflow, As the parched earth rejoices in the pain, The pain of the sky and clouds. Clad in their attire of mourning, They cry out to the world. Something in me wants to cradle Those soot coloured clouds, And alleviate their pain. Even as I stand in the midst of a flood, The revenge for the pain inflicted on mother earth, The tears of the sky will avenge their creator, And make obsolete what we hold dear, And make obsolete what we hold dear.
