Rain Divine

When clouds rule the sky

And blows wild wind,

It is ecstatic how the first drop of rain

Rests itself on my bare skin

 

Soft and clear

The droplet shines

I look upto the sky

Saluting the rain divine

I lie down on wet earth

My eyes open no more

The clouds are thundering past me

Little drops tickle me to the core

 

My mind travels back in time

To all the wondrous moments of past

Like the rain, memories shower on me

I collect as many ..aah fast

 

When life was not so serious

And problems so small

This rain takes me back there

When nothing mattered at all!

 

-Like a kid gazing up at the trees,

Trying to climb and dreaming of a home among the leaves

-Like a little girl, studying her face in the mirror

with eyes full of little dreams

-Like a youthful lover, craving for that one glance

Imagination running to the extremes!

 

In no time, the sun goes back into hiding

Behind a cloud so grey

Droplets have become heavier now

With the ground below its prey

 

It’s dark, deep and lovely

The sky’s dancing in mirth

Thus begins a love triangle

Of rain, wind and earth

Tiny droplets sitting on leaves,

Waiting for a few moments, then come sliding down

look to me like a group of friends

gliding together on a slippery slope!

Coming down they meet the earth

The life of a droplet coming a full circle
