I cannot think but of rain
And water slowly falls
Tears of the world
Or necessary drops
To replenish life
Yes, pain begets hope
Just as rain begets crop
Just as death begets life
Just as life begets death
The thunder rolls
And too the light
Great sound from great power
Testament to the past
Witness to god-like potency
They say that past sins cast long shadows
Like thunder from the lightning
First we see; long after we hear
And yet too I wish to be like lightning
Although my life be short
I wish to be heard long after
For we never truly die
Until we are forgotten
Suggestion:
Write more poems during thunderstorms. This is a magnificent write! Sin & long shadows - nice image/adage. ~allets~
Appreciation
Thank you, I'll try.
