RAINS

adding colors and character

to the benevolent sky

the clouds float together

forming an isle

the storm

the lightening

in their magnificent ire

usher in gusts of wind

along with the thunder

first come the cool breeze

then the petrichor

and, finally the outburst

an antidote

to every parched soul

the beautiful rains

are a frenzied delight

where the spirits

are showered, and

feelings sensitized...

Rain

the pleasant smell of earth, and 

the blissful calmness around

the indulgence in wanting to cuddle up, and

the peace coursing through the frayed nerves

the wild breeze with its swishing sound, and

the rainbow in its colorful splendor

unparalleled is the happiness, ushered in

by this marvel of Mother Nature!

every cloud burst soothes my pain

rejuvenated, I feel whole again

so, palpable is the feeling of rain

I love the feeling of the rain, and

I would love to feel it

over and over, again and again..!!

Stay Afloat! Stay Ashore!

when the ripples come alive with each stroke n' wonder

how in the yonder, the sea n' sky embrace each other

when the soft hues of sunset, replenished by night

uphold the pristine waxing n' waning moonlight

when the only source of light away, shimmers

illuminating everything as it saunters

Stay afloat! Stay ashore!

 

when shadowless waters, brim with froth

adrift as a soul in peril n' appear lost

when dark cloudy storms bellow, with no escape

stumbling through waves in a shrouded haze

when rustling breeze bounce over the streams

n'then disappear like a silent dream

Stay afloat! Stay ashore!

if you don't brave the storm, don't tackle it by horn

you won't survive the tide, you will be gone

so ride the waves, take the plunge

for life's a flow n' its true

hang in there, be it high or low,

for this is what you got to do

Stay afloat! Stay ashore!
