Vijay Pandit Poet Free verse

Fleeting Rainstorm

Stormy winds swing canopies of trees 
Swaying dark shadows upon my reverie
Glimmering through forest-green leaves 
Sunlight filtered by cumulous clouds

As raindrops pitter-patter on sidewalk
Drenching instincts ambling in the park.

Sun-rays soon flicker, as rain-clouds part
Spreading golden dust on cobalt-blue sky
Intermittently oscillating light and dark
Floating breezy patterns on emerald grass.

The multi-hued sky then picks up my vibes
As charming horizon evokes your smile.

The voice I hear, speaks to me so softly
First time ever, it greets me with a kiss
Holding my posture, I sprint for a glimpse.

But there's no one, for no one there was
Except the chatter of agitated bird calls
Warning of danger from a lone stranger
Conjuring daydreams in fleeting rainstorm.
