Rainmakers


Clouds beneath an endless sky,
Bright and blue but barely shy,
Dance in tune to the winds as gay,
And hope the wind shall forever stay.
They'd bulge and fade, like a child's toy.
They'd grow and spread into a boy.
Never knowing that the life at ease
Will last until its gone with the breeze
For when the air moves no more,
They'd be dazed, and then sore.

They'd halt and thunder
They'd grumble and plunder,
They'd sweat it all out and then
They'd look around
To the havoc on ground,
No way to share one's pain.

They'd learn and sigh that love
Was not the wind but the sky above.
Who'd stand beside and pour starlight
Even on a moonless night.
The wind's nigh but a willful tide
A guest of autumn at best
Rainmakers on eternity's side
There's a sky for your rest.
