Question

A poem about a shelter tree

Answer 1

Shelter under this tree; the rain, incessant. 
It is night. Stormclouds scud above and 
There will soon be moonlight. 

Raindrops skitter and fall: heat and dust 
All day until the tempest came. 
Now the earth drinks up the water 
Rivulets course their way down the slope. 

Shelter under this tree. Wait a while 
There is jagged lightning in the sky 
Loud, loud thunder rolling by 
Wait, wait a while. 

A voice in the darkness; 
Someone's footsteps, a lamp. 
The storm has abated; go your way. 
Rain, rain in these eyes
