Anuradha Sowmyanarayanan Poet Free verse

LET IT RAIN

A tiny drop touches the earth in summer;
The dry soil feels a fresh breath of life.
Awakened by the rain’s gentle touch,
The earth smiles, gazing up in hope.
Grandeur rises in the scent of petrichor.
Rain on a dry leaf blesses it with gloss,
Shining again in its original green.
Drizzles paint flowers with color and fragrance,
And all sing softly, “Let it rain, let it rain.”
