A Little Taste of Rain

The earth is parched and southwestern winds whip the sky dusty The world feels dry and the evening sky bleeds a little rusty Dear Lord if you please a little taste of rain we surely need A fall foliage is wither and brown no colors do the tree tops crown The earth so cracked you can trip down nothing as sad as thirsty ground Rationing of precious water miles around for a little taste of rain our sorrows drown A crack of lightning a darken sky roars with thunder The smell of rain leads raindrops to drip then rip asunder Reviving the earth gulping the liquid life as plunder A little taste of rain let it pour let it pour Prayers answered life reassured
