By whatever name

Written  for Friday Writings # 86: Glimmer



The rains have always been a real fascination for me ever since childhood, but the deluge in the past years, about the destruction it could cause has also left an indelible mark. Yet the earth wouldn't flourish weren't it for the bounty from above and my fascination remains. 




Whether a patchy drizzle 
A cloud burst, a thunderstorm 
Whether a little shower 
a pelt down, a rainstorm
Whether a severe deluge 
Or a violent squall 
The waters transformed to 
vapours, rose to heaven
and humbled came down again
By whatever name 
they and I shall call 
You arrive the same  
And I glimmer shimmer and all
