the rain tonight


the gloomy sky stares down at us like angry eyes observing its prey,
that anywhere we go its as if we would be caught unprepared for its ultimate strike.
we tend to be vigilant, taking our hopes as we look up and plead for impunity.
yet it would just glare back...contemplating.

and when darkness spills throughout this earth again...
the silent dread fills every space inside us.
even the cold walls and heavy roofs between us and nature shakes with apprehension.
until the stars hide behind thick clouds,
the wind blows a little stronger..
the rain pours a little harder..

the trees will dance again,
the land will duck..

until the water rises one more time.

we...all brace ourselves to watch..
