1 The first few drops,

Scattered like leaves,

Accompany rumbles, a distant omen

A prophecy of things to come.

And come they do,

Sending the smiling

Cluster of precocious adepts

Dashing for a rocky shelter.

All except one,

A spiky haired youth,

Standing under evening downpour

With arms outstretched.

A breathing monument

To the wonders of nature.

Why seek protection

When getting wet is mandatory?

His friends huddle

Inviting him to come,

To get them wet,

And overflow the too small cave.

But still he stands,

Ignoring their pleas,

Enduring cascading torrents,

As man was meant to do.

The rains fade away,

And the sun return,

Slowly sinking over

The edge of the world.

The steam rises,

Heated by sunshine,

The touch of King Midas,

In its own little way.

A misty wraith,

Hair plastered to head,

Peeks in on his fellows,

Who scream at the figure.

He shrugs and walk off,

And mounting the hill,

Is seen by the deserted

Who now are merely curious.

The golden ghost,

Wreathed in mist,

Practically glows

As he departs.

His friends gaze with wonder

After their odd companion

Who, despite other things,

Is much more than he seems.
