I wanted to be left alone
I was in intense pain
Trying to hide my tears,
I came out in the rain
My anguish vanished when
I saw myriads of Hollyhocks
In awe I glanced around to find
Dancing magnificent peacocks
My heart skipped a beat
At the sight of colorful blooms
And those charming regal birds
Made me forget my gloom
The sun peeped and came out
To intermingle with raindrops
Weaving a bright rainbow , before
It dipped down the hill – tops
Venturing out to the nature
Was for me a serendipity
I have found a magical trick
To remain happy till eternity
