A Hard Rain
For four weeks the sun ruled the world.
The land became parched, the leaves turned brown.
The dust rose from the road and swirled.
No water, too far from town!
To save the tomatoes water was carried.
The cabin a fort, guarded by AC.
All life became increasingly harried.
Storms went by with no rain to see.
A tight, strained, waiting need for rain!
Hot and heavy hung the air.
Still and silent stood the grain.
Darkness grew. Thunder answered our prayer.
A cool breeze with a few drops fell.
Then more, and more the winds did blow.
The cats ran to the basement for this spell!
Lightening hit too close.
A hard rain fell.
The land renewed.
All life did swell,
And peace extrude.
