Rain
As I look out my window,
I see a sudden smile on people's faces walking by,
Some more energy in their strides,
The anger and irritation meters are down
That happens when the rains comes around.
The clouds are flowering all over the sky,
The koyal bird is chirping away in delight,
The green colour is growing brighter in daylight,
The fragrance of the moist earth prevails.
The rains are here !
Water supply problems start to disappear
Leakage in some houses may start to reappear
The potholes get a new life,
Traffic jams time to time
The rains are here !
Wish life was also so easier
that a swish of rain would make things simpler.
Maybe wash away some stress, which seems so near
every time we try and steer to stay clear
of the mad rush and the greed
that defines this creed.
Wish the shade the dark clouds provide
The gentle cool wind that rains revive,
could reduce a little bit of anguish and ease some minds.
And do this trick every time.
As hard as we might try
the holes we dig ,get bigger each time
We still move on, with our daily grinds
and don't turn back to see what we left behind.
The earth enjoys the rain still so much,
Than us who tread the road taken before
Still run around wanting more and more
the rains are here, the rains are here
but alas our souls
they are beyond repairs !
