Analysis of Downpour
OH God
So calm,so quiet;so smooth,so silky
Such a silvern sky,the blacken,silvern sky!
Threaten to rain any time
Wind has already started blowing for sometime
His wild,violent,mountainous Presence is
marked by each and every leaf,tree,dirt
in the streets
And I and my soul for the sake of the
Impending(imminent) sweet storm
Make Peace,have truce,and fly the white flag
up on the pole;Oh God it`s so calm,it`s so
numb;it seems to me just the moment before
love summit,love come
At this moment a few water drops start to
drip off Heaven`s stream;inch by inch the
rate increase
It now comes with spoons,ponds,bucketsfull
Upon the back of my tin-shed roof
It rings, rings, rings
