Truant Rains

When nature holds back

The tears of joy

And reign in the happiness

Earth’s siblings are alienated

From the lively showers

Parched souls wait eagerly

For some miracle

Before hopes run dry

Waiting for clouds to gather

And creating magic

Rainfall cascading in abundance

Bringing abundant happiness

Don’t hold back the joy

Let the raindrops fall again

And the souls can taste life, again ©
