The Goddess Of Rain

A soothsayer once said in Greece,
In invincible morning light,
'There is someone who brings the wind,
Who turns the Day to Night'

Thought by everyone to be a great man,
He was believed by all,
But that Something he did not know,
Nearly brought his fall

The skies grew black, Heavens split,
The Earth shook with pain,
For she knew the Oracle had insulted
Her daughter The Goddess of Rain

Her daughter on the contrary,
Talked with him awhile,
Showered him with Forgiveness,
And blessed him with a Smile.
