Saturated

The dark over bearing clouds heavy and thick with their moisture, ready to release
Embrace the murky sky, prepared to saturate the ground below
The beads begin, slowly, unhurried yet full, dripping gently, steadily
Increasing stronger, more resilient, as rain plunges from the sky
Thick globule tears descent as the falling liquid strengthens its showers
Intense, arduous drops sated with their wetness
Pounding surfaces beneath, pummelling all within its reach
The earth swallowing the downpour with greed and thirst
Flooding nature’s floor, sodden, drenched, saturated

I hope I stand in one of these showers one day, with a partner by my side.
