drought

Gentle winds beneath a cloudy sky

cause branches to rustle about

the sky promising quick relief

from such a devastating drought.

Drops begin slowly at first

we marvel at their size

the rain has finally come

much to our surprise.

Puddles form so quickly

the ground unable to absorb the rain

and the cracks in the dry earth

are not able to let it drain.

We marvel at the rainy day

so long in coming here

we all have hope rekindled

and all give a silent cheer.

Some nod in silent approval

seeing the end to their strife

knowing better times are coming

because with water, comes life.
