Rain

Then the heavens opened
And down it came
Hour after hour
More of the same

Yesterdays drought
Turned into a flood
Now everywhere I look
Is nothing but mud

Where once there was grass
Is now a creek
The quiet meandering stream
Now a river at peak

The dust that was there
Is now in the past
The riverlets of water
Are now raging fast

Stock on the bank
Are starting to low
All of them wondering
Where did the grass go

I'm lucky my house
Is up on a hill
Or I might look like Noah
With an ark to fill
