Rain and the Window Pane
That big grey palate
Outside my window
Stroked with raindrops
Happiness from the skies
The window sighs
While I look outside
Gentle drops of water
Adorn the window-frame
The Gods do play
While the Earth sings
She is the bride, they say
We shower her with rain
The earthy fragrance
Flirting with the wild orchids
Lulling the newborn to sleep
Avatars of happiness, it seems
Hoarse laughter from the crow
Perched now on the treetop
Drenched in the rain
Feels like a king, for sure
My mind is on the streets
Jumping in the puddle
Near that tailor’s shop
Simple joy it seeks
Unrestrained hair blowing
Being wooed by the wind
Sitting beside the window
I put on a pleasant grin
The heart is light
The soul is unshackled
Leaving the skin behind
I dissolve in the surroundings
The rain is still falling
The thunder is boasting
Intoxicated I am now
In the wine of happiness
