Rain~makers Calling
There was a hush in the bush as the mist settled
hiding the mountains
all was quiet in the crevices
where the small marsupials waited
in anticipation
the silence
deafening.
Hints of movement
lingering in the depth of the hidden
in places unseen
the snapping of a twig
has all poised on the edge of fear
taking refuge
behind the curtained veil
small animals remain
frozen in the moment
as shards of light penetrate
the mist hovering.
In the distance
there is a clap of thunder
it reverberates and shakes
all the land
while the scaled ones
have now retreated
deep into the hollows
of the earth
the four legged ones shiver
air filled with moisture
rain is not far away.
White light shoots across the sky
the sky ablaze
momentum is building
anticipation is brewing
eyes look up to the heavens
seeking protection
one calls to the great one
of the dreamtime
making an offering
a prayer.
The wind beings are dancing
they whirl in delight
faster and faster they spin
creating a willy willy
a gale to sing.
Now the singing grows louder.
Dancing feet pound
on earth mother
fire glowing
sparks and embers burning
shadows moving
mystery opening
and the songs of eternity
join with the elements.
Silence hits and
stillness returns
to the parched land
welcoming Great Serpents gift
a deluge falls upon the land
life is returning
rivers run and flow
replenishing now
heart of the land.
There is silence in the bush.
