An Elegy on the woman who once lived and loved the rain
Loveliest amongst all
She soared up the blank sky
Like a fish eagle to genesis
Unraveling the miles
With wisdom and fire
A young Ullyses of storm.
She beseech the Zeus
Wish rain to calm the world
To dance in the rain ritual
Her days were numbered
She lays in deep slumber
Dreaming the best adventures.
The rain will pour again
She’ll be the rainbow
To promise to start again.
When all wake up one day
Like the Rip Van Winkle
Will see you around with hope.
