Dust Bowl

My eyes look upward to the dark sky So many clouds yet the ground is dry All around me nothing but the dust We need rain badly it is a must Wind is blowing clouds look alive Thunder and lightning will soon arrive A gap in the clouds a shaft of light Here in the darkness shining so bright Glowing large raindrops begiinning to fall Liquid excitement soaking us all Jumping in circles this is a good day All of our dust has been washed away Shaft of Light contest First attempt at a couplet February 7th 2013
