Are you with me?

It's raining hard,
drumming a rhythm, dripping to the ground.
creating puddles, changing the color of water
chirping crickets, witnessing my loneliness

dewdrops waiting eagerly, to converge with the earth
Creepers growing serenely, wending their way around trees.

Thundering and lightening skies
dark and tinged with crimson
Strong gales, battles in the mind
consternation and commotion

rainwater pelting on the rooftops
resounding and penetrating
truculent and besieging
stormy mind, with resonating thought waves

It rained heavily, yet left the earth parched
I got drenched, yet remained thirsty within

I'm praying for this phase to pass
I'm praying this love lasts forever.

the sun is rising, are you with me?
