Outside it has started to rain Sitting in my porch I watch, The elements mix and mingle Kneading the pulverized dust The drizzle has gained a sudden might And now it rains cats and dogs I hear the blowing wind’s violent howl This is summer rain, so unpredictable is its course I hear the rumble of thunder in rhythmic roll Watch trees casting leaves in the wind Specters of brown and yellow spiraling down And flown hither and thither Rain water sinks fast into the mud Promising new sprouts of green Sieving deeper into my mind Reviving faded dreams! I watch the race of truant clouds And how they collide on their track Breeding florescent light and rumbling sound Like a small firework in the sky I hear the rain all around Hold it in my palm Feel the thrill of the first firm grip of my love And my senses aglow with a soothing calm The droplets have once again begun falling thick and heavy They hit hard on the parched earth Lightning sends chills down my spine Darkness grows as if the day is dying out Fun to watch these raindrops flop and break Over boulders and flow downwards Raising the scent of roasted earth Mixing with the smell of fresh Jasmine _______________________ As I kept looking on, the rain grew weak And its rattle got suddenly stilled, Like a blasting music abruptly stopped Making the hall silent and leaving waves of thrill! The sky that peered through veils of grey, Beamed and brightened once again, With all its aches washed away, In the purging tears of crystal drops!
