the cycle of rain


Once it was
The water of life
The cycle of rain
Everyone could be smiling

The weather could be windy
The breezy wind whirring friendly
There was no fear of nature
It was the friendly calling

Then it changed
The end of year assessment
The water became unfriendly
The angry waves pushing in

What was wrong?
The people didn't know
Every year at this time of the year
The floods came home

The water marks in our minds
For a while we felt the pain
Of our losses in properties
Sometimes personal lost of loved ones

It was there
Then it could be forgotten
Until the next rain of events
We would start to worry
