The First Rain In Monsoon

With sweated forehead
& body
I stand alone
in the yard
feeling the hot air
It's dark
no brazen rays of
setting sun
I see the birds
hurrying back
under the heavy sky
There comes...
The first rain of Monsoon
Little rain drops
Little strikes of lightning above
The smell like no other
Fresh wet soil
Little drops,
now fast rain
Lightning...
Trees, bushes
plants & grass
We all waited long
to feel the Rain
The First one in Monsoon...
