Seven Minutes of Hell
Rumbling clouds all across, An umbrella of uncertainty, I see the lightning, I hear it now, In eagerness of pouring down. I long for the rain but it makes me wait As the darkness grows darker I feel something worse is yet to come When even a Hurricane wouldn’t worry me. A thunderous boom and there it is “The soft falling showers” oh not at all, Hellish showers befall, To every soothing description you’ve heard of rain Its nothing like them at all. No man can walk and vehicles have chosen not to, I haven’t seen this might of rain And I can vouch for everyone who’s seeing it, No one wants to see it again. It was seven minutes, seven minutes of that terrifying waterfall After which it subsided to gentleness. Heavy still, but gentle now Zeus’ happy now I jokingly sighed Another thunderous lightning And something among the clouds smiled.
