The Anxieties of a Widow

May stretched its legs into grave.
The thunder heralds the rains.
A hut on the bank of Kanoli canal
Is not re-thatched this year.
Her infant’s illness made the doctor gay
With all the wages she had kept.
Summer takes the last breath,
But the coconut leaf thatched roof
Is not re-thatched this year.

As the widow stands on the threshold,
The rain clouds gather over her sky,
And the wind scatters terror in her corridor.
Will the tattered roof be flown away?
Will the rain drops make pores
On the roof of her life?
Where will her child crawl and smile?
Question waves are thus getting high;
Her canoe is ready to be tossed.


(The summer season ends in the month of May and rainy season begins in the month of June in Kerala)

Showers

The light of the sun
Falls behind the clouds
And rain falls down
From high in the sky.
As every drop hits the ground,
The sound gets louder,
And now, the rain turns to showers.
Hour by hour,
Rain falls down,
The drip-drop
Just slapping the ground.

Gentle Rain

GENTLE RAIN
I long to hear the gentle rain
as it drizzles down the window pane

The sun is under cloud today
the birds are hiding too.
the trees are swaying in the breeze
I thank you Lord on my knees.

I gaze at all the clouds above
I watch them passing by,
The rain continues into night
There’s no reprieve in sight.

The lightning strikes are closer now
It illuminates the night
I feel a shiver up my spine
It causes such a fright.

I know that when the morn does come
The rain will all be gone.
There’s hope again when we at last
see the morning sun.

When the Sunshine Decides To Go Into Hiding

When the sunshine decides to go into hiding

When the sunshine
decides to go into hiding

And gray
clouds return

With the rain not to far behind

Remind yourself

When the rain starts falling

Not to allow the rain
to get you down

Because the good 
Lord is 
taking the time
to water his garden

So that everything 
can remain green

And after he is done
watering his garden

It will be a time 
for celebration

Because that’s when a rainbow 
will appear in the sky to let us know 
that the sunshine will be returning soon
