Proclamation of Nocturnal Rain

I sit gazing at the bruised branches 
Of trees that wall my humble thatch. 
Leaves dead and live laments, 
Tender mango sprouts, 
Like yellow granules of cake dough, 
Lie listening the last drops’ descent. 
Pale hairy roots of young trees, 
A shattered sparrow’s nest, 
The bowing branch full of guava 
Fruits yellow and green, 
Blessed basil leaves with tiny 
Silver pearls clean and pure 
Sets the  morn’s golden glory; 
  
Proclamation of a nocturnal rain.
