Usman Hanif - Rain

It's raining outside, the earth is dry
worries burning inside, no tears to cry
the earth is barren, but ox ready to tether
no cloud around, but gloomy is the weather

Calm is the air, a storm awaits inside
darkness seems nowhere, nothing to shine
future has passed, yet nothing to predict
mind full of thoughts, nothing to depict

clouds thundering, water flowing in the drians
typical splashing sounds, but it never rains
everything drenched in water, me dry with draught
of a blessing, a miracle and a devil's thought

the heart empty and the brain on its craze
blood calm and the emotions ready to hail
no one to guide, nothing to ride, the world wide
stands a famined lone warrior, nowhere to hide...
