Fear The Rain

They walked along a narrow trail
And as they did, told many a tale
The one eyed the sky doubtfully
Listening to the other carefully

The heavens seemed to darken
The thunder bade them hearken
Then began to fall a large drop
And another so without stop

Will it rain the elder asked
Seems that way the other replied
His defeat so thinly masked
Both hoped it might subside

All hope was then put aside
The dark skies were opened wide
All along the mountain side
Reigned the thunder and his bride

Rocks began to tumble
The hills began to slide
Mountain deep to rumble
Thus the fateful water ride

They tripped and fell
They stumbled and flew
Down into a dell
And then fell anew

Their descent came to an end
Their bodies in the flood
The other searched for his friend
The water red with blood

They were alive amidst the downpour
They both were in great pain
Their survival wouldn't reassure
That's why they fear the rain
