The golden ball of light.
Hanging high-up in the sky.
Known to combat the darkness.
& Illimunate the world.
Is now a source of problem.
With no blowing wind.
& the temperature above 40ยฐ.
I wish it was still winter.
But it is a wishful thinking.
A possible wish is what I am trying to find.
Aha! I got it.
I wish for a drizzle.
Is what I am praying for.
Hours by hours pass.
But the sky is clear.
Void of clouds.
A prayer is a hope.
To save me from this heat.
Few moments of rest is what I need.
I close my eyes and lay down.
Telling myself I will rest my eyes for a second.
Unknowingly I dozed off.
Boom! I am jostled awake.
My heart is beating erratically in my chest.
Rubbing my eyes.
I look around.
Just what happened.
Why is it so dark?
Did a burglar break in?
Reaching forward I grasped an umbrella.
From the stand.
Moving forward, practicing caution.
Another 'Boom!' & the windows rattled.
Peeking out I saw the clear sky.
Now covered in dark, grey, gloomy clouds.
My prayer is answered.
Whooping in delight.
I let the umbrella go.
Feeling silly.
I sat by the window.
Enjoying the cool blowing wind.
Another 'Boom'..
& the rain came pouring down.
Big fat rain drops descended the sky.
Pitter-patter echoed.
As I sit by the window.
Enjoying the climate.
With a cup of milk & a plate of cookies.
