Savanna storm

Savanna storm

How bleak the realm.
Rain falls in drenching torrents.
Providing respite from oppressive heat.
It seems blissfully serene,
as it washes away earthly sins.
Bones sink deep in the delta like mud.
The roads they flood and the rivers they rise,
the clouds block out the midday sky.
Fools ford, wading in their ignorance.
Thunderous applause from the heavens above,
for deeds well done.
All too soon it is over and the suppression returns.
Swelter God’s creatures, for this is your lot.
The toils of your life are but for your reference,
so that all may appreciate the Savanna storm's respite.
