I want to touch the rainbow <br />so I wait for rains to come <br />with rising summer heat <br />it will soon be monsoon's turn <br /> <br />Like sapless lifeless leaves <br />I feel so parched and weak <br />but promise of impending rains <br />does ease away my pains <br /> <br />That smell of rain on dirt <br />as nature gives new birth <br />I feel the hope around me <br />there will be no dearth of mirth <br /> <br />Like every year <br />that has come and gone <br />I will wait for rains <br />like my dried up lawn.<br /><br />Nalini Chaturvedi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/awaiting-monsoon-rains/
