Behind the Rain

Darkness descends low in the skies, hiding the brilliant blue With windows open wide, the sun no longer shines through Crisp becomes the air, chilling the breeze of a dying smooth At sudden rest, the earth bows loyally to this natural soothe Then the story begins; narrated by the roar of thunder above With every flash of lightning brings forth a nearly faded love Similar to when life flashes in our eyes upon death’s coming Singing a faint melody of tears within the wind’s humming With every raindrop that falls, a world crumbles deep inside To birth another, freed from the burden of destructive divide Feeding nature’s undying hunger, renewing every life force Unwilling to depart without leaving behind this great source Listen flawlessly for the tale behind the rhythm of rain drops And the bellow from the sky, calling out to the endless crops Ignorance is a plague known to draw us away from the story Bringing the fall of clouded tears, tainting the storm’s glory Nature will only be patient shortly before comes a drastic act Hurricanes, tornados, floods; the vengeful measures of impact The storm will make you listen, or cause much unneeded pain Now I ask, when nature speaks, heed the story behind the rain
