AS THE CLOUDS GATHERS

(Thoughts From Within)

As the clouds gather,

I step out into the open space

And look up into the skies

Wondering how long it will take to pour

And wondering how much the land can savour

Before it starts to vomit the excess as flood.

As the clouds gather,

I think of the lives on the street

How long can they stand still

Waiting for the downpour to settle?

How long can they endure

The winds that blow coldness?

How long can they bear

Been drenched in their wetness?

As the cloud gathers,

I think of the people living in waterlogged areas.

How long can they take in 

The stinking smell of the brownish waters?

How long will they continue -

To pray for the cessation of the waters?

How long can they survive

Been surrounded by the waters?

How long will they continue-

To sweep away the waters in their rooms?

As the cloud gathers,

I begin to think of those who may lose their shelter.

Those who may part ways with their hard-earned properties;

Those through no fault of theirs may lose their precious life.

As the cloud gathers,

I also remember the magnificent edifice up the hill

Whose owners may see this as an opportunity

To do away with their waste.

As the cloud gathers,

I think of the farmers--

Who have waited so long for this downpour

They wish it would pour more regularly and in abundance.

As the cloud gathers,

Many are the wishes of the people

But if all wishes were to be horses... (your guess is as good as mine)

So as the cloud gathers

Lord, not our will-

But your will to satisfy all and sundry.
