The Reality of a Fantasy Rain

The Reality of A Fantasy Rain
David J Walker

Remembered in the 
Paint by number dreams the

Fantasy rain  
Seems to be falling 
following 

calling me by faith 
to the 
front room 	
picture window

coaxing me to the back porch 
hoping
	to observe lightning 
and listening for
	Thor’s rolling thunder

His hand on the hammer 
His hammer strikes the anvil 

A stammer of sparks 
Scattering across 

The far horizon 
	Spreading new stars
In a darkened universe 

But the reality of the 
Quiet dryness and

	A warm summer breeze
Challenges Thor 
In battle

A war he cannot win

The crops cry for relief 
From a dry August day
