Rain


Rain itself is an emotion, which I and you have in our lives

Rain is a celebration for some,

While it mourns for some,

We wish it could end all the sorrows, yet it stays in our lives


The pasture in a farm oozes with lush greenery after the rains,

The concrete jungle is wiped out of all its malice after the rains,

Life before rain was dry and desolate

Life after rain is gay with the gifts of nature


Walking in the rain is a pleasure for all,

The splatter of delight on the bodies

Are like spears for some,

And for some they are the sparkling pearls of salvation


Some enjoy the rains, without fearing its cost

But some fear it and miss the splash of happiness

Under the pretext of epidemics

Love blossoms amidst the downpour of crystal


Rain washes out the houses of the poor,

It bestows wealth to those with acres of land

It kills many, but helps some

It is a normal routine for some, for some it’s an uninvited guest


Rain is a lullaby; it is subtle like a mother’s song

It is an end to the desperate wait of a lover, so long

It soothes million hearts and quenches the thirst of the soil

Rain cleanses our sins, and sanctifies our souls
