neither Clouds

nor Humans

are immortal,

and they both

must die

when their allotted time

is finished

Rain and Death

are both

fated,

part of

the beat

of the cosmos

the Water cycle

means Rain

is indispensable.

the cycle of

Life

makes Death

invaluable

without

Fatality

of People

or Collections

of condensed water

there can be

nothing to die

and the World

would be

dehydrated,

dusty,

diseased

It cleanses the Earth

of the decrepit and

the ill

and washes away

those wounded

beyond repair

It also possesses

a nasty habit

to demolish your plans,

your hopes, dreams,

and wishes
