Elucidating Questions

Thank the skies it’s raining

But why does it have to hurt so much?

It’s just a little rain and my body has turned to stone

My joints so stiff, my spine curved forward with pain from my hips

Agony

But I am still so grateful for the rain

It burns so very bad

The rain

I cannot even sit and watch it as I used to,

It hurts too much

I used to dance in the rain

Stand in a downpour and savour every moment

But it’s behind me now

Now I can barely move because the moist has seeped into my bones

But bless this day

Possibly the last in a while

Possibly the last for the summer

Please just be enough for some animals to drink as well as the plants

I’d go through any amount of pain for the Earth to drink her fill.
