The Coming of the Rain

The dark clouds crawl along the sky

Blocking the ball of fire from our eyes

Extinguishing the flame that guides the day

Soon we will see the lamentation of the heavens

The coming of the rain

The day is now the night

Embraced by a fog of darkness

Nature has gathered the light behind creeping clouds

Like the black hole in space collecting light

Is darkness the sign of heaven’s weeping?

The coming of the rain

A tear races to the ground

Exploding as it hits the earth’s flesh

Is this an omen?

A drop is like an atom of what is yet to come

A waterfall shooting from the sky

A fall of tears that will quench the earth’s thirst

That’s the coming of the rain
