Ten droughts of silence
puntuated with sighs of thirst
then an alien sprinkle of emotion
upon the parched earth
Fumes of shocked greed
rise up the surface
wary of being sucked dry
holding tightly to its newfound moisture
The defiant roar of thunder
then a nonstop downpour
as if vowing to never run out
till the land can take no more
The sun no longer shy
smilingly peeps down the sky
nudging the newly planted dreams
ready to blossom in the hopeful evergreen
