Return of the Globules
A globule
Of transparency
Reflecting starlight
Drops
To the ground
The terra firma
The earth
After which its form
Was developed
By lunar rumblings
Chastising terrestrial currents
A saline solution sloshed about
Shriveling into a desert
Where a pagan deity of war
Drug the bones
Of those who once lived...
And now the globules have returned
Bringing freshness
Floral vibrance
To a country
Dullened in beige and grey
