I smelt the rain before it came, as The smiling sun was tucked away. I knew then that the time had come- For singing children with kites were done, Their joys and smiles gone with the sun. And butterflies (yellow, orange, and blue) Had to run and hide Until the storm was through. These daffodils, lilies, roses, too, Will stand beside me, Water rushing at the knee- A thousand city skylines, Waters fallen previously, Gigantic ships tucked in a bay, All stand waiting for this day. Like abandoned cars upon a country road, They will take on every load. Here I am, Arms to the sky, Like those daffodils on the Cloudiest day, the loudest night. Every piece of grass, Every grain of sand, The rain stops for no beast, The rain stops for no man.
