Far From Home

far from home
and without shelter
thunderous and malefic
dark clouds roll in

floodgates open
dropping their load
vengeful sleet
torrential rain

the weight of heavens
upon the world
unleash its fury
in all its glory

the wrath of Jupiter

I am getting ready for a little rain. But the atmosphere is not accomodating me.

Get out your paintbrushes, Caren, and paint yourself some sunshine!

Your words are a perfect mix to express the wrath of Jupiter...which I am experiencing right now.

We have had torrential on-and-off rains recently. I pity anyone getting caught off guard!
