he roared with laughter
and the thunder rumbled,
a shine glazed his eyes
and the lightening strikes again,
he wept in joy
and sweet droplets peter down,
he cried a lover’s melancholy
and the great tears descend,
he wailed a mother’s fear
and the drops solidified,
he hollered in pain of despondency
and the tempest turns up
begetting mayhem and annihilation,
he is powerful,
formidable he is,
the king of the heavens,
the seed of the mother earth,
the father of the titans,
the eldest of all,
the indeterminate sky.
