Rain is
Vapor
Bound for the
Stars
Unable to
Escape
Pulled down by
Gravity
Are we rain?
Trapped
Our tears
The desperate release
Dried up
Stripping water from salt
Deposits, clogging our mines
Desperate for axe and blast
A river cried
Cleanses the grounds
To the heavens, our tears
Free from pain
Gathered in joyous nimbus, we unite
Ichor bound for petra
We fall from sky
Catalyzing fertile lands
Providing bounty
Our essence, nourishing the prenatal
A child is born, shedding tears
Relics from a mother's pain
With each new life
A storm gathers
