The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Heaven Weeps, Earth Whines

The Lord is grieved
His heart is broken and it bleeds
The sky reflects the state of His face
Water gathers in His eyes
As the clouds form in the space
But the earth shouts for joy
The thunder relays the intensity
And the pitch of His cry
Yet the earth celebrates
The Lord is weeping
Over the wickedness of man on earth
Heavens pour overflowing tears of His eyes
Yet man rejoices
Because His tears still nurture the nature
But all flee from His tears
No one wants it to fall on him
Why then make God to cry?
It is raining.
