Rain,You Come Often For, I Would Live Sane

For walking, by early morning sharp 6, Parking my cycle by children’s park, Started I, round the park. Breeze severe, drizzle slow. Rushing to shelter I see rain, no welcome face in park. happy inside I showed aversion my surprise! Flowers smile, butterflies dance, bloody some flies too joined the dance. passion in me got triggered . I wanted to dance with flies try catching butterflies and flies . I fear for, all in the shelter may laugh, my dignity my respect I bother much. envying the butterflies and flowers Lucky fellows gifted to dance and smooch! I saw a boy near me in my spirit. tried sweet talk to make him dance in rain. too smart this fellow, he wanted me to dance first. I cursed the younger generation for not loving nature I told him, “In our days we would dance the whole day”! fellow said, “you country fellow, I have a date today”. I cursed him “go hell. Dance with evil spirits”. I became very nostalgic of my childhood days! By school days ,I try all eccentric things . Believe me,I even lay flat on the ground and look at rain in all angles. Even research on reflection of light on rain drops. Today I could never imagine for that in all rain probably I have to take a picnic for that. But for sure, the sense of rain always makes me nostalgic, a great cure for many of my untold pains. rain,you come often for, I would live sane…… 15-11-2013. by Jenish Soosai anthony for "Fragrance of rain" contest by nette onclaud.
