Metaphorically Speaking

No matter how long you look to the sky Rain wouldn't fall if there are no clouds; So engage the sun, warm up your oceans And uplift humid air as high as you can-- And keep repeating till misty clouds form. Stars don't appear till the advent of dark, So take your sunny day on a joyous ride-- Let it shine in beauty of traversing the arc Until on horizon meets crimson twilight Readying lucent stage for a starry night. Sun won't rise till the dawn makes a call, So take the nightfall on the hunt for light Rotating the earth till you hear birdsongs Making your way through retreating fog To witness the dawning of golden vistas. Now you are glad you can make rainfall, Happy as well you will conquer the stars, And find your path to your own aurora. April 28, 2019 HM: Strand choice J contest by Brain Strand
