I Am the Rain God

I am the rain god, and I fear no one. The wind god and the sun god fear me though. I have no idea why. I am not intimidating. Merely myself. Showering the earth with drops that turn huge When I am in a bad mood, or disappointed. Pelting the ground with angry tears when I am hurt. But most of the time… I am a gentle god, Giving myself freely to the earth, Nurturing trees and flowers, Giving my liquid self to animals who cannot live without me This includes the two-legged creatures Who pollute my oceans, my creeks, my rivers, my streams. Sometimes I want to withhold all water from them. But I am the rain god, and must be responsible and kind sometimes. So today is your lucky day. You may bathe in my ocean But if you pollute it, I will send the nightmare god And he will see that your slumber is less than peaceful. This is the advantage of having a cousin like that.
