No Rain

In life's harsh drought
Rain feels like a faint memory,
Seasons change quickly
Upheavals hurl

Dry thoughts like cinder
Flames of crackling wood
Burning with fierce heat
Spark consuming spark

Ashes in dry season
Hazy shades floating far
Ashy debris suffocate
Hazy grey mists obscure 

Dry months conspire
Tree pyres consuming,
What can we do
From far far away?
