Surviving a Day's Rain
Good sky,clear day sky,
Grew darker by minutes,
As clouds made woolly figurines of all kinds,
Visibility fell low as sunlight hid behind,
Day was near about dusky night,
Lightening flashed like sword swashes,
Clouds clashed making rending thundering sound,
Winds whistled like fast and mad,
I was just about in the street,
Way away from where I had to be,
Cats and dogs rained and not the other way round,
As if all the pouring water was aiming for flood,
Wet till soaked deep inside,
And till limbs grew numb by cold,
I said to my wet inside,
Weathers of this kind abound in life,
Thank your hidden day stars,
That you after all did survive.
