Bring On the Rain

I stand, close my eyes, and listen
I feel the change in the air
Rain is on the horizon
I open my eyes and look to see where

I see no storm clouds in the distance
Or signs of water from the sky
Still I feel the onset of the storm
The one that could make everything go awry

See, that’s the problem with storms
They are a necessity of life
For with them they bring life giving water
But in their wake they leave chaos and strife

Without them we are left in drought
Left alone to suffer in our thirst
Till the day when the water indeed does come
Not caring if the rain brings the worst

We are in desperate need of the rain now-a-days
It has been too long since water has fallen
We are dry and dusty without the provision
Left withering away, depressed, and sullen

Come soon rain clouds, oh tumultuous sky
Let the storm bring what it will
Now no matter the wind that brings the destruction
The rain will renew and will fill
