Tears of the drought


Do you not remember us?
Oh exalted Rain Gods
We light our lamps of fervent prayer,
Forgive any speck of rebellion
And drench this scorched earth,
Comforting winds, showers of life
Let hope sprout forth again.

 Written for the Trifextra- Week Sixty at Trifceta  

 The challenge is to use three words and make a 36 word response
The three words are:
remember
rain
rebellion

 My response is for the parts of my state(Maharashtra, India) hit by the drought and facing severe water shortage.

    @Barbara, @Bo, @Vanessa , @Draug, @Kaykuala, @lumdog, @bodhisattva###, @Atreyee, @Kymm, @Rambly, @Fiction Vixen,@Soumya : Thank you so much for visiting and caring to leave a word.


    @Sam : Thanks a bunch for loving my header. I drew it on paper with my son's colors and clicked on my phone. I guess I was imagining myself to float on clouds and visit all kinds of wondrous places ( which is in my bucket list) and just watch how life stories shape up. Mostly derived from daddy always yelling "Come down from the clouds".
