Rainy Day


Pitter, patter fall the drops of rain
It slides down the window pane
Leave tracks of fudged images
Seem to convey some messages

At night the room is dark and damp
Lightening sparks it like a mystical lamp 
The light mingles with the volleying thunder
Make the visible images rent asunder

Dawn breaks under an overcast sky
Slight drizzle evokes a drowsy sigh
A bedraggled dog hunts for a shelter
Explores an open door to enter

The roads are muddy and filled with puddles
Few dogs take cover under a cart in cuddles
Children  going to school is a torturous task
“When will the rain stop?”, they plaintively ask

“No respite for days”, the weatherman said
Roads are flooded, difficult times ahead
“Work from home”, is the only way
Pray and keep waiting for a better day
