Watching Waiting Wishing
Watching,
… Waiting,
… Wishing it would come.
There were clouds just now
… where are they now?
White, grey and in between.
Come on rain
Where have you been?
Imagine the smell
When it touches the earth.
A fragrance so profound as
it fills one with mirth.
What could be better?
Than to get drenched
by rain?
Quenching dry earth
and relieving the pain,
of worry,
anxiety
and major disdain.
Dams are waiting.
Buckets are ready.
Tanks should be overflowing
with the rain drops already.
Where are the rain clouds?
They have just gone by!!!
Come back come back
we need you NOW!!!
Don’t go away
as we don’t know how
we will cope
if it doesn’t rain now!
