Downpour

I watched as it began. It was with that single, trickling drop The undisputable urge took control Rolling the storm and it's fury Across the skies and, Feeding the hunger below. Much like a woman scorn, The pressure beat down Upon the earth mercilessly Prodding over and over, Showing the true meaning of Nature, And how shamefully indulgent she can be. Yet you, you beautiful creature, Throughout the thunder and lights You stayed unveiled and unsheltered, Letting every single part of you Become drenched in the sins Of the past, present, and future. The pure beauty of the scene Is breathtaking, to say the least. I Envy you as you take control, (Like you always do so well,) With such grace and intellect, but you are Still so oblivious to my endeared reverence. So we simply waited as the storm came to it's end. Together but not together. Apart but not apart. You looked at me, so longingly and sincerely, But I just couldn't find the words to say, So at dawn's first light you flew away.
