The Power Of Water

The storm has gathered,

Listen to the rumble of the sky

The feel of the first drops

As they begin to fall

From the clouds Indra holds in the palm of his hands

And uses to wipe his tear-ridden eyes. 

Her head tips up,

Cocks to the side.

Pearls cling to her lashes

As she watches the two forces collide.

Thunder beckons, booming and roaring

Its challenge across the heavens

For anyone who dares to stand in the way

The lightning cleaves the sky into two

Lighting up the dark

For but an instant.

She blinks as the rain pounds a furious song

On the tiles she stands on

They are the sky

And the power of every storm

That has ever been 

And then, it's over.

It recedes as quickly as it came

The monsoon withdraws its hold

Over the land, it's claim

The clouds start to drizzle,

The sun starts to shine

And suddenly she laughs, full of joy,

As the droplets gently rain from the sky.
