I am the rain.
The mountain may spit fire at the sky. . . Still the rain will fall.
The mountain may quake at the world. . . Still the rain will fall.
The mountain will be silent and brooding. . . Still the rain will fall.
The mountain will tumble down upon the earth. . . Still the rain will fall.
The mountain will be reduced to sandy shore. . . Still the rain will fall.
Be the rain.
