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..!!

Rains n’ ME

It's again that time of the year ~
when the usually bright clouds turn murkier,
bringin' in with it the fiery storms
n' the thunderous lightenin' with non-stop rains,
that many of us fear; thanks to the deluge,
that crippled us all, back a few years..!!

BUT it is not always such ~
there are the subtle showers, too,
where every single drop has it's own rhythm
reverberating across the gray sky,
replenishing the thirsty Mother Earth,
to last enough for yet another passin' year..!!

I love the rains, especially the first showers,
when it sends, soft breezes as it's harbinger
n' then as the pitter-patter drops on the parched earth,
it unleashes a pleasant smell that calms my nerves,
sensitisin' every existin' feelin' within me,
while soothin' my soul n' makin' me feel whole..!!

Cloud drift...

tired of the hard day that I left behind
I sat through my journey with a hazy mind
I wanted to drift away from the day-to-day grind
when my sights got arrested by the cloudy bind

echoing silence from the bluish white isle
a visual treat that few brushes could style

O! what a difference from the chaotic earth

translucent effervescence floating in mirth

sun setting beneath rushes of rain swept clouds
moon standing tall aside wavelets of river troughs
realm of universe in this cloud lined comb
relaxed like a child in a mothers womb

dancing and galloping and flying
drifting enroute and rejoining
sparkling in dusky glow so lustrous
singing a song in a tone so wondrous

creating a powerful melody
that strung in harmony
unparalleled on -
The Planet Earth
