Rain

The soft rainy sky

Engulfs the morning in its blue

The light cotton drops fall

Slowly and smoothly

Like an elixir of pain

On the dust-laden heart

Clenched in abundant doubts

Beating to absorb

All the waters of life

The wind stirs everything

From leaves to clouds

Enforcing the moment of change

Upon the somnolent beings

Their heads turn upward

Making silent conversations

With the showering firmament

Some complaining

Some acknowledging

Some singing and dancing

Soon the canvas of earth and sky

Once painted in monsoon colors

Is exposed to the sunlight

The heat comes back

And the water dries

The wind stops

Bringing everything to rest

The somnolent beings

Sleep again

And the heart keeps beating

In hope for the next rain
