When the Rain Comes

A dismal sky rolling with thunder
As cold rain falls heavily on the earth
It drenches and floods
It provides and rejuvenates
The wet sidewalk reflects light
Cast down from the lamp above
Like all else in this world
The storm will pass on
Sol returns to the sky
But that light though gone
Shines beyond this
Reminding us that its presence
Will always shine when the rain comes
