Praise the cloud-bearer.

Praise the rain-sender.

Praise the season-changer.

Praise the eternal.

God above the storm.

God beyond the sea.

God smiting the earth with drought.

God flooding the earth with rain.

We wait for the clouds.

We pray for the rain.

We change as the seasons change.

But  you do not change.

Our birth. Our frenzied life.

Our death and then silence.

We will wait for the thunder of your voice.

We will mass beneath the earth like termites.

Waiting for the thunder of God.

We will fill the air with wings.
