Where is the rain?
The sky lies heavy and dark above our heads
Broken with the silent surges of lightning
That fade away
Only to come back
Brighter and angrier
But silent
Reflecting my own mind
The bursts of anger
Which will not
Cannot
Be voiced
However much I try
Strain
The clouds repress the sound
And the thunder does not show
Nor does my voice
Instead
We sit in silent fumes
Only the flashes are seen
But so briefly
That it might just be imagination
And I wonder
Where is the rain?
