Last time it rained was in April.
                                      It did not rain that much, 
                            but it was enough to dirty everywhere. 
                             You see, it was a south easterly wind
     and the clouds arrived laden with sand from the north African desert.
  That was nearly five months ago, and the farmers are already up in arms,
                   bemoaning lack of water as they till the arid soil.

                                         dust flies in the air
                                    the sun blazes overhead
                                      sweat drips profusely

                             Prayers have not gone unanswered!
                          Dark clouds creep from behind the hills
                   fast multiplying, ominously, obliterating the blue.
           The calm hot air is ruffled by a timid breeze which soon turns 
     to gusty wind. A sudden horizontal flash followed by drawling thunder 
            precedes a few big drops of rain which testily hit the ground.

                                          increase of tempo
                                     deafening cymbals clash
                                           erupting deluge 

                  Water gathers then flows steadily down the streets;
            thirsty fields drink greedily; trees bathe in delight, relishing
    heaven’s kiss of life on their moribund leaves, roots breathing in relief.
    Then, worn out, the wind slowly abates; so do the thunder and the rain. 
The clouds shyly disperse, permitting an unobstructed view of the sky above.
                 Satiated, the sundrenched land savours the afterglow. 

                                            sensual appeal
                                        petrichor emanation 
                                       veins pleasantly throb
