I expected the rain to come by thunder
And lightning but now as it comes I wonder
If it has decided to ride in under
Cover of a mist arising to persist
Little by little surprising to insist
As from nothing it grows into anything
Goes out of the stillness when then from the mist
Comes the thunder and lightning and everything
The wind at the end and the howling I missed
Down in the flatland of that land I am from
Expecting the thunder and lightning to come
To become something that nothing can resist
Up through this high desert place come to face me
One born in the thunder and lightning to be
At the destination of my destiny
Expecting the rain accepting the wonder
Of being surprised by lightning and thunder
