Sidi J. Mahtrow - Rain

2014-11-07 2 Dailymotion

A chill’s in the air <br />Cows at break of dawn <br />Go their own way, not wanting to share <br />Bits of green amongst the brown. <br /> <br />Clouds form on the horizon <br />A “Blue Norther” is on its way <br />The line builds higher and higher <br />And moves swiftly until all is dark in light of day. <br /> <br />Dust devils dance with no end <br />Leaves and bits of dry grass are airborne <br />Even the sand moves under the relentlessness wind <br />Plants bow and sway, bending to the distant god. <br /> <br />Suddenly, all is quiet in this airy hell <br />And freshness is in the air <br />Almost a chemical cleansing of the sense of smell <br />A pungent, sharpness with traces of nitrates there. <br /> <br />In the dry dust, a splatter <br />A single, then more droplets <br />The earth, a moonscape of tiny ridges and valleys here and there. <br />Drops slowly merge into flowing rivulets. <br /> <br />A distant roar as the rain now begins <br />Driving all before in a cascade of stinging drops <br />At first coating the dirt with an oil-like sheen <br />Before soaking in and filling the voids. <br /> <br />The dry season is ended! <br />Life will spring forth as in the beginning <br />From the brown earth as nature intended <br />Rain is here! <br /> <br />s<br /><br />Sidi J.
