Anonomus Scorpio Poet Couplet

A second chance

The sun beat down for two hard seasons long,
Their land was parched, where grass grew strong
Near death went by, and whispered a sigh,
Beneath a vast and empty sky

Watching the dust, with a heavy heart,
And wondered why, as life fell apart
Confused, we questioned, every day,
Why did Mother turn and look away

Then sudden tears from skies above,
A gentle deluge, filled with nourishing love
The heavens wept, a soaking grace,
Washing the world, at their own pace

The thirsty ground drank deep and slow,
Remade; this sleeping garden grows
And lilacs shy, with branches bare,
Woke to the moisture, in the air

They pushed new buds, a sweet delight,
Though autumn winds began with might
A second bloom, a purple gleam,
Gifts of a rare white; unexpected dream
