the heavy rain



Yesterday heavy rain
The soft windy breezes
The crying of cats and dogs
The sky darkened for it was night

The showering rain
Other parts of the world
The severe storms and flooding
Here there was joy

The light of the car entered
The mother cat and her kitten bolted
Running away under the rain
They knew it wasn't the home

The mother cat hid under the palm tree
Though the heavy rain belting its song
The kitten didn't want to share
It bolted over the fence and disappeared

The roaring rain
The rocking sky and its songs
Heavily downpouring of sweat and tears
For the humans never understood

The mother cat still hanging in the cold rain
The palm leaves protecting her against the beats
Curling under the palm tree of the night
The dim light showing its shadow....

The humans live quietly in the homes
Some on the road marching with the rain
Others waiting in cafes and hawkers' stalls
Watching the rain belting out its songs
