An Elemental Reverie of Water

The drought in Texas brings about a Reverie of Rain.

Texas has been undergoing a rather unpleasant drought for the past few years, which has brought Texas’ parched future concerning Water under serious scrutiny.

However, for the first time, in a very long time, the Hill Country of Texas finally received some long awaited Rain today.

Those Rains inspired the following Impressions:

 

Dark clouds adrift upon a sunlit horizon

Their black edges shining with brilliant silvers and golds

The Rains which whispered, thundered and flashed with lightning

Within their wispy folds

Refresh parched Earth

And wet the Lips of thirsty Pilgrims and Lost Souls

Cleansing, Purifying Waters

Brutally cold and nurturingly warm

Fall from the horizon’s Dark Harbingers

Bringing both Sustenance and possible harm

Such is the Nature of Clouds

Dark, shining, silver and gold

They are the Promise of things to come and Hopes to hold

I’ve spent so many Days down by the Water

Watching the Rippling Days

Drift like they doughtier

Each Day a drop of Rain

Splashed upon thirsty Soil

A wet burst of Creation and Life

Each crystal Drop of Rain

A kaleidoscopic Rainbow

Of Energy and Light

Rain, Look at all the Rain

Pounding the Ground

Pounding it Out

Look at all the pretty falling Rain
