Monsoon Prayer

Where power corrupts,poetry cleanses.

me, I count but four syllables in the first line of your number I above. Which I think is prob'ly inconsistent with the other lines presented. Was that your intention? If you alter to five sylls, perhaps a simple "the" or "my"---each choice, of course, creating a very different meaning/image from the other (prob'ly a "the" would be the better)---before "sky" would do the job. All in all, very meditative, peaceful. Nice work. Yours, Chuck PS: Notice my middle paragraph above is about as complicated as it could possibly be. As Martha Stewart might say, "which is not a good thing." "Clouds genuflect," etc., is elegant, simple, contextually apt, and downright brilliant.
