Angels In the Rain

Plenty of rain this green monsoon
Men and women sow rice sapling
The harp brings out  intense pink tone
With sun and rain, endless grappling


Rows of rice plant rows of humans
Hands blend with joy in the green earth
The harp plays out blue and pink sound
Look at the red blooming of mirth

Best wishes in the CONTEST Guptaji. I never lived in India, but I know enough about the rice paddy ... your picture is great: bent bodies, bending saplings ... with goodness of the Earth. Monsoon is Life---Bollywood sings it best. Aum Tat Sat

Even if you never lived in India and still are an Indian in your blood, which the name indicates, the image i have lifted from the sowing humans and nature, will seem familiar to you ... Glad that you like it ... Thank you so much ...

It s a really lovely as well a beautiful poem, moonsoon sure brings many good tbigs with it but it s not always good to farmers as heavy rain isn t that affective, it even sometime destroys the crops but still even now I like to spend my time in rain without an umbrella, just let the rain fall on you and forget every other thing,
