The land had been barren for long

Yielding nothing but stones and ashes

The land was dry and cracked

Abandoned and useless

The day it rained 

A fire had been burning

Unquenchable by the rain

Burned brighter than before

The land had been wanting

The rain brought with it revelation

The mysteries of the earth opened up 

Fertilising the land

A single flower grew overnight

Blossoming in the sunshine

Bringing with it the beauties of the earth

The land is now filled with trees
