Rain

The petrichor of the first rain on the field
Gets into my nostrils
It is a freedom from the cage of scorching heat
In my exhausted lungs
Into the uncaged shower of moistened fragrance
From the dank dry grass 
My tongue seeks to get a salty taste of the ocean
Inhaling the wet mass
Of the stones on roadsides emanating petrichor
The scent of rain once more
I understand jasmine will be at my drenched door
The exit of dead dance 
Drizzly entrance of your rain-kissed glance

This is very lovely Probir. I love the scent of rain, especially after the lawn has been mowed. ; )
