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
