Poem
Tribute to the Rains And then it finally came What was very much sought And what was most needed As people even prayed for Eventually, the rains did arrive Coming as it did in a flurry Consuming with it all anxiety, Uncertainty, the heat and dust In whatever shape it did land As speedy drizzle or brazen shower; Noisy downpour continued all nights, With lightning and thunder Hurtling down came the stormy rain With gale and gusty winds, splashing, Causing muddy pools and rolling floods; Hurriedly filling up lakes and reservoirs Wishes grew, for it to be regular Each year and round the year; enough, For that alone would mean, growth And bring in, wealth and happiness And thus it raised the hopes of farmers From communities far and wide; who, Ever so expectant gazed at the sky: For rains alone made their crops thrive For Flora and Fauna to bloom manifold As pastures and fields spring back to life Plants and trees turning to refreshing green As marshy lands all get wet and soaked At long last the Rain Gods had scampered in Bringing with it promises of plenty and cheer; Making the air clean and pollutants free And ushering in climate for a comfort spree Children rushed to get drenched for fun While others chose to cuddle in the bed A delight that's been quite forgotten For rains brought thrill to all age brethren It often inspired families to stick together And munch crispy snacks chattering together; With a myriad of thoughts and dreams And alas life for man got all set to zoom! It didn't really matter how rains showed up Through a 'cyclone' or a ‘depression’ All it did was to arrive in style and substance; To the stupendous amazement of all asunder Whether in torrents or in spate Raindrops did charge the water bodies Making insects and worms come alive For birds to flutter and butterflies to swarm The wonder of this refreshing shower Instantly thrilled my heart with heavenly beat, And thoughts pleasantly ebbed in my mind To string words together and sing in praise Great God indeed; did this resource, bless, For bereft of it; all life shall be a thing of past And with it the journey of all living things May well see the light of millenniums ahead!
