RAIN

RAIN

---------

Rain when it comes, it only rains

scorching heat, biting dust

parched earth sniffing life

birds chirping as they must

peeled brooks smile again

rain when it comes, it only rains.

Dying flowers breathe and blush

shying lotus blossom in slush

peacocks dance, frogs croak

dried forest getting soaked

faded leaves, unfold again

rain when it comes, it only rains.

Buds blossom into flowers

newly weds dying for showers

cupid strikes and presence is felt

hearts of human and animals getting melt

oblivious of surrounding only two remain

rain when it comes, it only rains.

Farmers laugh running to fields

praying God for bumper yield

dusty winds dare not blow

venturing children paying no heed

mercury mulls not rising again

rain when it comes, it only rains.

Rivers sing a merry song

springs wish to go along

streams dance to nature’s tune

rising lakes see nothing wrong

brownish land looks green again

rain when it comes, it only rains.

Overcast sky sieving light

far  in the west rainbow bright

puddles of pool in the street

roof top cries, oh kite, oh kite

water authorities needn’t rake the brains

rain when comes, it only rains.

Elixir for life, rain must go away

but must come in time, we always pray

without rains none will be sane

life in planet will not remain

rain when it comes, it only rains.
