A Rainy Afternoon

A rainy afternoon
==================

I Woke up from the afternoon nap ,
 upset by the rumbling sounds of thunderbolts,
The turbulent wind was  striking at  the  window panes with big jolts. 

The lightening flashed as brightly as ever,
Beguiled by the exotic scenery, I grabbed the moments to savor.

My desire to lie on the bed vanished in seconds,
It was so amazing  to gaze at the cloudy sky that beckons.


I gotta thank mother nature for her blissful act,
When the cloudbursts descended with a strong impact.

Raindrops were falling  on my rooftop , 
 as the heavy rains unleashed with no sign to stop.

I felt euphoric viewing   the bizarre spectacle of incessant rain,
and  rushed to the garden to dance again and again.

  My thoughts flashed back  to the childhood days,
 I was a lively kid jumping in  rain always. 

I wish I would run  back to those moments   once more,
Though I am deluded, and unable to  restore .
