MESSENGER, SOLDIER.
Quietness and calmness,
peacefulness and stableness,
kinged the day,
until suddenly,
Enu arose and shook his head,
Above the crowns of man,
An the inhabitants of earth saw, heard and felt,
knockings on their roofs,
Numerous footsteps outside,
thunderous roars screaming,
rushing outside was the action,
Sight was the future,
millions of atom like soldiers appearing on soil
transforming to liquid ice,
soldiering soil with vigor ,
lashing man with invisible mild harsh touches,
luxuries of man they quarried away,
however, left gift of tears to the victims,
joy to the playful,
And memories to the aged,
these soldiering messengers
from ODUMANKUMAS camp,
Brought gifts from ancestry to man
punishments to conscious less,
Orderliness to all.

this poem messenger soldiers is just a poem describing the rain in another sense. Its source from ODUMANKUMA the creator, its thunderous noise it makes, its destructiveness, the joy of children playing in the rain and the pain on the other hand of victims.
Hello Sonia,
Very powerful depiction of the ability, agility and tranquility of rain in the minds and hearts of old and young. From the simple pitter patter on the hoods of our dwellings, to the torrential down pour and destructions of life’s most mighty and forgotten, yet never really known small. The washing away of that which once was and the ear mark for that which replaces as the new. How can something so simple be so dramatically and traumatically life transforming…… Mother Nature’s endless multitude of tears and her forever cleansing, (when ever needed) fragmented persona.....
