Longed for months, drought's day <br />Is going to get washed away <br />Soon enough within a day <br />As it appears, the vast cloud, grey <br /> <br />Over the mountain, at distance <br />Emerald carpet, once was <br />Seem smiling and overjoyed <br />Out crying in joy of hopes getting fulfilled <br /> <br />Like viewing through a screen of <br />Scorched plant leaves, parched twigs <br />Scald turf and skeletonized plants <br />A peacock dancing tat a tat... tat-tat-tat <br /> <br />Peasants and village folks <br />Dancing to the tune of heart beat <br />To afford a rousing welcome to the fall <br />Whole world waited for so long<br /><br />Jayatissa Liyanage<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/unspoken-joy/
