See How the Rain

See how the rain oils the dehydrated skin and heal the excruciating pain of the starving mother earth see how it brings long waited for salvation to the malnourished fauna and flora see how it brings life to the dead yet patient rivers having waited for so long under the hot burning merciless sun see how the rain fills people with hope joy and excitement and washes away their fears drowning them in water filled rivers see then how the land is dressed in colors captivating to the eyes and how the air is heavy with pungent aromas and sweet with melodic songs of birds caressing the skies ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ featured poem on PoetrySoup.com home page from the 21st to 27th February 2011 8th position on ''Razzle Dazzle'' contest sponsored by Linda-Marie
