It’s the end of summer, <br />the sweltering heat, <br />makes human sweat in the night, <br />and makes the plants and trees, <br />wilt even in the moonlit nights. <br /> <br />The eastern wind breeze brings an eerie feeling, <br />that the monsoon clouds are soon coming, <br />there is a strange silence in the ears, <br />the sky gets darker and darker, <br />the flash of lightning illuminates the dark skies, <br />the sound of thunder fills the heart with fear. <br /> <br /> <br />The rain starts coming down, <br />slowly at first, but heavy little later, <br />the gutters and drainages suddenly fill up, <br />and water starts flowing down the streets. <br /> <br />Children take off their shirts, <br />they shower and dance in the sprinkling rain, <br />their joy and free spirit, <br />fills the hearts of onlookers with joyous music, <br />the little paper boats start to float down the street, <br />till they drown into the swallowing streams. <br /> <br />The sound and the music of rain, <br />fills the lovers heart, <br />with the desire to meet their beloved, <br />the embrace and kiss in the humid rainy day, <br />elevates the desire of getting united in one entity. <br /> <br />After the pouring rain for a while, <br />the clouds start to break up and scatter in the sky, <br />the sun comes out playing hide and seek with the clouds, <br />the sun rays form the magnificent rainbow across the skies. <br /> <br />The birds and critters start to sing their songs, <br />the plants and flowers seem to be awakened from a deep sleep, <br />the eastern wind breeze feels so nice, <br />the rain leaves its lasting impression across the land and skies.<br /><br />Jay P Narain<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/monsoon-rain/
