Epiphany
Poetry by Melissa Mercado KamaA Friday evening
The sky is crying tonight,
the leaves dance and cheer
the grass enjoys the dew
while above it cracks and leaks.
Tomorrow will be green,
But the night so far, is dark.
The dawn will bring sunlight
Hidden in her fairy floss.
And she will wear her gumboots
To stamp the puddles out
Its tears will fall on soil.
Life will leap out from it.
But tonight, the sky weeps,
The earth will dance and celebrate.
Its tears give life – a tragedy
- for no creature consoles the rain.
