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
