primordial reflections

it rained last night
bullet-sized droplets
piercing the darkness
with violence reserved
for shrapnel filled
battlefields

it rained last night
lightening filled skies
bringing rise
to primal fears and beliefs
zeus was up there
punishing humanity
for its sins

it rained last night
thunder shook the earth
reflecting the sound
of anxiety
a heart pounding with fear
cowering beneath the shroud
of darkness

it rained last night
angry water
falling in torrents
towards the ground
no comfort
no solace
a storm tasting
of bitterness and despair

it rained last night
and I cried myself to sleep
