As a liquid blanket shadows the Earth
the mighty luminary pales in vision
Hazy silhouettes hold hostage the skies of blue
An arctic chill detains the atmosphere
As a tsunami of nature’s breath slaughters the bark of decomposed limbs
Fields of green and amber are slain within powerful sprinkles of dew
Besieged pebbles whitewashed by a torrent of trouncing streams
Defeated valleys drown in overflowing brooks
Quivering synchronized raindrops baptize the still of the night
with all ferocity
creating melodious sounds
of a deluge of raindrops
