Waiting for the rain to

Wash away my

Tears

Dreaming of a deluge

Storm that will

Reshape

Life

Erode the layers of

Scarred land

Scorched earth

That is my world

Barren and bleak

Devoid of

Life

Sweet rain

Bringing

Nourishment

Germinate the seeds

Feed the roots

Bring new

Life

Tired of this

Desolate

Landscape

Where even the cactus

Refuses to grow

Only burning sand and

Me

How much longer will this

Drought

Continue

Not even a lonesome cloud

On the horizon

Only the merciless

Sun
