Rain Dear

How long you have been defaulting, you know!
O rain! Dear! Don't you have any conscience?
Growing as dark as dusk, soon you turn snow;
Judge you? No. My folks and I are cautious...!
	
Just a drop of yours cools my heart and mind,
Like nectar forms within buds with no sound;
I break my silence; Drought gone? I stand blind,
Has my mail for torrents, no answer found...?

In lands of barren-wombs, you have no say,
My existence, just like grass, fades so soon;
This is why I've tried and say, come what may!
False-rain has become my eternal boon...! 

These I say, because, I reap and I sow,
How long you have been defaulting, you know!

Rain comes whenever it feels it's its time. So long as I don't get wet, let it rain.
