Poetry

Reign of Rain

Let  me  dance  in  the  rains

Thus  wash  away  my  pains

It  will  hide  my   tears

And  wash  off  tear- stains

The  rain  song  of  tip  tip

With  its  melodious  refrains

Makes  the  whole  environs  musical

And  festive  aura  maintains

The  rumbling  of  the  clouds

High  wind  before  the  shower

With  darkness  gathering  around

The  lightening  showing  its  power

Rapturous   in  anticipation

With  melodies  in  my  heart

I  wait  for  delightful  spray

And  rain – dance  to  start

The  freshly  washed  foliage

Their bright, verdant  leaves

The  dust free  colourful  flowers

It’s  heaven  on  earth I believe

I  never  belonged  to  religion

At  any  of  life’s  stage

But  rain  brings  serendipity

Everywhere  I  see His  image

                                                         ~Sudha  Dixit

    A nice display of the colourful ‘fireworks’ of words that bring in the reign of rain , choking the otherwise arid environment we are presently in!

    The description itself makes one drenched in the downpour that creates hilarious moods in the minds starved of normal rainfall!
    What if the rain answers our prayers?

    But we’ve conveniently forgotten our ungrateful attitude towards NATURE!

    Hail the rain to bring showers of happiness and prosperity to one and all!

    We are no more tolerant of the drought that squeezes our lives uninterruptedly!
