Even Rain Lilly can't sleep

Even rainlilly can't sleep

Seen heavenly bright light from the clouds
Roaring, Roaring and roaring
With anger, the clouds are in tears
Dropping on earth, helpless.

Sleeping souls raised their heads
Hearing shouts and screaming
Tears are floating over the earth
Souls are helpless, they climbed the air.

No! Never cry so hardly
Earth is soaked in tears
We are with you! Oh God!
Never cry too long.

Oh God! Never play with that sword
Fire pierce inside heart, burning
There blooms a rain lilly alone
Even it's sleepless tonight !

Thank you friend 😊

the thought of a single rain lily suffering sleep deprivation is more than a whole bunch of us wallflowers can collectively contend with without wincing in empathy .. Neville

The above lines. Maybe we need the lilly? Powerful and meaningful poetry shared my friend.

With only one rain lily being able to withstand the deluge, I am inclined to think that Noah's return could be a necessity

Wow this is deep, I've read you work but this one got me perplex I'm not sure I could comment because the flow of words comes together opening doors to interpretation but the ending woke me up, could this be just a dream. Love it thank you for sharing.

I like the metaphors you used…very clever..you showed the rain by your inventive descriptions….the rain was so thunderous it was disturbing creatures in earth, the roar even disturbed a lonely Lilly who couldn’t sleep…very well done

Man was given a gift and look, look what has been done with it?!

If I read you correctly, the Earth and its living is being drowned in the tears of its surroundings and those upon it. It's seen as a plaything, a tool, a thing - something to be replaced. BUT it knows as we should know, it can melt, drown, disappear.

Gone forever.

Vivid imagery here. When it's raining so hard the rain lilly can't sleep, it's time to break out the life rafts.
