The rolling thunder,
Gave me a sure sign.
The blinding flash,
Of the lightening bolt,
Refused to deny.
It’s monsoon time ,
Those gentle drops,
Pitter-pattering on the panes.
The howling wind,
Gushing thro’ the window,
Brings me the smell of rain.
I look outside,
With big broad smile,
My face lit up with joy.
I breathed in deep,
And put out my hand,
To ย enjoy the chill water drops.
It suddenly pours,
From drizzle to shower,
And i looked outside in awe.
I ran outside,
And stood in the lawn,
Welcoming the rains with open arms.
p.s. : sorry for the late post guys. I’ve been busy with my cousin’ s wedding and found time to post only now… Hopeย enjoyedย the poem ๐
A very apt poem considering what the monsoon rains have caused in Pakistan. Something so natural and beautiful can also bring devastation . Well written.
@jess : u are so right ๐ but nothing can be as beautiful as rain ๐

I find the rain to comfort my pain. When I’m alone and the rain is outside howling like I am, it’s as if the sky is my companion. But sun showers are my favorite to run and dance in. Great tribute to rain.
