Solo

Today the sun has hidden
Its warmth in the foggy mist
A clever way to fool humans 
And creatures that it is going to rain
Humidity rises but still it’s gray
And dry a nonessential creation
The trees leaves are inverted 
Waiting for showers of water 
To no avail the skies are dry
The flowers petals are closed
Begging for an eruption 
A drop of water 
To wet them and 
Feed the soil 
Birds are searching for 
Drinking pools and puddles 
To bathe and wet their beaks
Mouths open and dry
Still the skies remain dry
