Rain Dance

The night, she arrived draped in lush darkness
that was so deeply elegant, it inspired mystery
as blue traces of twilight retreated with finesse
into the other world humming the morning prayer.
The world was enveloped in divine anticipation
as she gracefully stretched in a tranquil repose.
A beautifully delicate scent hung in the air
as she heaved sweet sighs of dreamy transpiration.
The rain, he arrived on the wings of the wind
as it roared through the hearts of mankind
the skies slit open, set the mountains on fire
the dark clouds melt into life with desire.
A light seeps through the conscience again
as night danced a wonderful waltz with rain.

Conscience

When one is lost (in mood, in sadness, in isolation...) why is it that the slightest contemplation of the mysteries of nature brings so much power to shine a light that breaks through into conscience?

Ima, I think the grandiosity of nature lends a perspective. I definitely find that it makes me appreciate existence and accept the essence of being human; emotions, pain, love, loss and suffering :)
