A FRAGRANCE FROM THE SUMMER RAIN
When the first drop of the summer rain
touches the dry soil
there springs a fragrance
stronger than sandal wood
eucalyptus or elaichi.
It's a treat for the senses
that longs for the season's sensation
It's a earthy scent that
reaches far and wide.
The joy of feeling the rain
along with an earthy odour
is like a free trip to a fairy land
It is the smell of earth
that reconnects us with the nature
The smell of mud in the air
lifts the spirits to an extent fair
Its the grandeur of "Geosmin" that lingers around
blessing us with 'Petrichor"
the perfect partner for a cool summer abound.
