This desert life..

 

Rain
Current mood: melancholy
 

 

Just a ramble..

 

The sun on a hot Phoenix day shining in all intensity of hot ray of light

Penetrating your very soul and making you grateful for a drop of water

Water….without water….. there would not be life…

Rain…rain brings life……….

 

A bolt of lightning strikes the ground on a hot summer night and strikes a spark to the ground beneath it lighting a fire that burns for days.    

Water….without water….. there would not be life…

Rain…rain brings life……….

 

....

....

A fire burns out of control, destroying everything that gets in the way… Man cannot seem to stop a fire out of control.  Those that live in the path of the fire pray for rain.....

Water….without water….. there would not be life…

Rain…rain brings life back to the charred desert soil and clears the smoke the clouds our vision……….

 

....

Lives are  lost in a tragedies we cannot understand.

Grief burns like the fire that is out of control

Let it rain down

Let it rain down

And blend with our tears

 

....

Tears fill the lakes

that merge with the rivers

As we cry grateful for that drop of water

 Because without water….

there would not be life…

 

....

And through our tears

A grief filled mind  has hope that the rain 

Will bring back life to charred a heart like the rain does to a scorched desert,

So that life will go on…

 

....

Someday.....

 

Till then our  grieving soul  longs for that drop of water

on a hot Phoenix day

 As we watch  the smoke from the fire cloud our vision

Losing site of the Phoenix rising from the ashes

As grief never let's us forget…

What could have been…

....

Let it rain down

Let it rain down

Let our tears

Fill the lakes

that merge with the rivers

Water is life

And life goes on

 

Someday..............

As the Phoenix rises from the ashes

and waits patiently for a grief stricken mind to take notice

that life will always go on

 

Author's Note

This maybe hard to follow and was inspired by the deaths of 5 young adults in the span of a few months. Meshed with life in the desert and recent wildfire.... like I said.... just a ramble...
