A Sad Rain Gonna Fall

I meander along lonely as a cloud
with nowhere particular to go,
when the chill of a wild southerly
rushes with purpose over the brow
blows me north to join many more.
As I gaze towards a bane barren land
i sense the plight of desperate farmers
sadly, looking our way with a plea,
rain rain stay, please don’t go away
drifting up to complement our tears.

Excellent Harry. Here in Airdrie, Ab. just 30km outside Calgary we depend a great deal on plenty of snow in winter to feed the streams and pray for rain in summer so we don't have cattle dropping all over the place. I can relate. Good stuff as always. God Bless, JB

I think clouds are so beautiful to watch as they change shape, imagine floating around like a cloud, meandering and building up with purpose over the brow, yet sadly watching the farmers pleading for the rain please not to go away - how desperate they must be and how sad you must be for them that their land is so barren. Great Poem Harry- a blessed Christmas to you and all your family, be safe, take care. Jennifer. Hugs, Jennifer.
