Destiny's Claim

Rain
Falls to the earth from Heaven
Washes the ground with tears
Cleans away dreams that linger
Washes the footsteps that we want to keep
Wakes us from our sleep

The wind blows
Harsh gusts of wind
Disturbing our sandcastles, half destroyed by raindrops
Moving grains of sand over others
Friction and small itches of pain

Combined, it's cold
Hug yourself and try in futility to keep warm
No shelter from the storm
Hope it'll be gone
Visibility low
All you see is rain falling at an angle
And more rain
And more rain
And it doesn't seem to stop

When the rain ceases
And the wind slows to a gentle breeze
When the rainbow graces the horizon
And the sky resumes its palette of white on blue
The seas will be calm again
The air will be fresh again
The waves will lap the shore again
And we will be free to dream again
