dreams of becoming flower
before a hailstorm

Wow! This is awesome, Rajat I'm thinking a young bride-to-be is excited for proposal, but she doesn't know what marrying such guy entails. Then again, what comes to mind, is the inevitability of rain on parades. This haiku is simply beautiful in its own way.
