	Halsey's Grimoire It holds my poetry! Well... A little bit of it..

	Rain Dance
	Rain Dance


Who decides when it’s time to do the Rain dance? Who is the one who looks at the corn stalks Or the turnips Or the tomatoes And says, “Too yellow.” Or, “Much too brown.” I want to decide when to do the Rain dance. So that every time I’m not happy With the way things are Or the way things used to be Or the way things are going to be I can look up into the black sky And shout, “Too yellow.” Or, “Much too brown.” And have the whole earth (Or at least as far as I can see) Rain, and Cry, and grieve with me. Some people say that We are all diamonds Of personality With a hundred facets Cut to imperfection By purposeful hands And seen by a face with Contented delight upon our reflections I was tired of those people So I walked. And I am walking. I have walked five miles But I am carrying the whole world And it is full of broken pieces And lost things. Will you walk with me? We can go to Africa The atmosphere there is almost as thick as you’ve made my skin So thick That it makes the sun look different So thick that it makes the horses there have black stripes. Once a year in Africa the cows (Which we could call Wildebeest, if you like) Migrate over the Nile. And the crocodiles eat their hearts. I will call a Rain dance. But you can’t have my heart. © 2007 Born again Pagan...and again...and again.... Halsey Alyn · Fri Sep 19, 2008 @ 08:13am · 0 Comments
