A Misty Day

Waiting for rain during a drought

A Misty Day


 


The morning loomed dull


Cloudy and wet


My mind was racing


I was so upset


It wasn’t raining – just yet


No more than a mist


 


The road slippery


The air cool


All I could see


Were puddles on the ground at school


No, no rain – just yet


No more than a mist


 


The forecast gloomy


For the next day or two


We need it badly


To live it’s a must


But no rain – just yet


No more than a mist


 


The sound of tyres


The screech of brakes


As the trucks slide


Any which way


But no rain – just yet


No more than  a mist


 


Then thunder came


And lightning flashed


Loud and booming


Like the fear in my heart


Yet still no rain – just yet


No more than a mist


 


When suddenly


It came down


My heart was ready to burst


No more pain


This broke the chain


Gone, was the infernal mist

“The woman or man who is a poet, or fiction writer, or playwright, or all of these, is engaged constantly in a jazz ballet of vocabularies, passions, genders, histories, perspectives, death, love, and life. The music of revelation announces itself to
