Agony & Bliss

Asleep in windy bliss
Hot winds killing agony from heat
Prayers seek clouds’ kiss
Yearn for rains to beat the heat

Awake, unaware of a distant storm
As it closes, mind aspires to meet
Thunder and rain brought in by storm
Heat recedes to cool winds we greet

Rising expectations of rain
Met with sand, agony delivered
Sands of misery and of pain
Angst compounded, hope quivered

What sought wasn’t received
Futility, thou art godly ways
God seem unjust, not as perceived
But He has his unknown ways

Winds drive sand everywhere
Seems like wrath of God
Aiding the ultimate takeover
Earth feels hot, dried is sod

Then, face feels the cool water drops
Rain, it finally falls
Thick with sand, heavy like slop 
Sand subsides, as the heat falls

Sand settles, all its fury gone
Song of winds – soothing and cool
Aroma of wet earth, mark of a boon
Mind floods with memories to drool

Abrupt thoughts of reality
Of storms that bring the muck
Also bring life, it’s vitality
Water for parched land to suck

Agony to blessings, prayers pay
God may frown but surely will smile
There is a method in his way
While man thinks it’s his beguile
