A Chance of Rain

When gray clouds gather
Eyes look to the sky with disdain
Dreading the anticipation of rain
I welcome the wetness
Praying for a storm
Cleanse the earth
Cleanse my soul
All impurities must go
Too complacent with arid conditions
To even know we’re dehydrated 
We all could use some libation

Love the imagery here...and an excellent expression of life and how we must be pure in heart from uncleanliness.
