Monsoon Prayers
by: GinaMarie
clouds dim
the bright sunlight
preparing for
a solemn summertime ritual
flickering candles of lightning
flash
the bright sunlight
preparing for
a solemn summertime ritual
flickering candles of lightning
flash
through the sky
thunder tolls the bell
calling all beings to worship
plants stretch their arms toward heaven
pulling sustenance down to earth
a chorus of watery spheres
chant a pattering of
silvery
voiced
hymns
accompanied by the humming flow
of wind
wending its way through
the rain
slicked
air
trees weep for joy
as water streams from the sky
soil hungrily sighs
in gulping mouthfuls
of raindrops
flowers tip their heads back
to let great torrents
wash dusty
drought
from their faces
rocks settle in more firmly
scrunching further
into the
rejoicing
earth
thunder tolls the bell
calling all beings to worship
plants stretch their arms toward heaven
pulling sustenance down to earth
a chorus of watery spheres
chant a pattering of
silvery
voiced
hymns
accompanied by the humming flow
of wind
wending its way through
the rain
slicked
air
trees weep for joy
as water streams from the sky
soil hungrily sighs
in gulping mouthfuls
of raindrops
flowers tip their heads back
to let great torrents
wash dusty
drought
from their faces
rocks settle in more firmly
scrunching further
into the
rejoicing
earth
