Dark and rumbling heavenly sky, <br />Man and animals wait with their throats all dry. <br />Wondering when that crystal clear nectar, <br />Will trickle down their body and into every sector. <br />As each second passed by, their eagerness became more and more, <br />An obvious reaction as they were thirsty to the core. <br />The parched land lay cracked like a jigsaw puzzle, <br />So were the living beings, all waiting in the muzzle. <br />The peacock came with its beautiful feathers to dance, <br />As the other animals eyed it as if in a trance. <br />To the god of thunder they all did pray, <br />To grant another second in their life or another day. <br />For it was so parched that even the camel was thirsty, <br />No mountain of gold could make them ever so happy, <br />Except for a dropp of that heavenly life saving offering, <br />Which came drizzling from the sky on every swan’s wing. <br />When will it pour down from that gracious blue, <br />When will the skies show mercy to me and you. <br />As the animals were looking for an answer for this doubt, <br />They heard a loud and tremendous shout. <br />And so the first few drops of that gracious blue’s mercy fell on the land, <br />As if directly from his silver lined hands, <br />Man and animal alike danced as if mad, <br />They couldn’t hide their happiness, they were so happy, so glad. <br />But they never forgot to thank the heavenly blue, <br />Who was so good to them, so true.<br /><br />Wini Jose<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rain-526/
