cumulus come cuddle
for this moment warrants
a lake from a puddle
in glorious torrents

cumulus come quickly
for this day requires
a quench for the sickly
old tree to its spires

cumulus come crackling
for this night desires
a furious tackling
of emotional fires

cumulus come cater
for this dream is craving
a cascading greater
than its misbehaving

cumulus come charging
for this aching demands
a relentless barging
from the sky to the sands

cumulus come cuddle
for this soul is longing
to float free of muddle
that drought is prolonging
