Out of nowhere <br />in the middle of the day <br />Came an army of clouds <br />hiding Sun's pierce rays <br />What a pleasant surprise <br />to smell that earthy scent <br />as drops of rain sprinkled <br />cool breeze followed them as well <br />These mid summer rains <br />Are rare jewels in desert and plains <br /> <br />In such a long time <br />I too could look up <br />for sun didn't seem the fiend <br />I had to ignore and snub <br /> <br />Akin to summer rains <br />there are angles <br />who embalm your pains <br />They come in form of people <br />help you believe in yourself again <br />Just like raindrops on parched lands <br />gives out scent <br />to never be forgotten in vain <br />The memories of such friends <br />help you stand up and walk again <br />No matter how many times you fall <br />and this world acts inhumanly insane....for my very dear friend whom I have been missing ever so often.....for you Maya Maryam Aghamiri....<br /><br />Nalini Chaturvedi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/summer-rains-5/
