THE SONG OF RAIN

Rain o rain

Where from do you fall

Signing and dancing all the way

Where to do you call

Have you no home

O why do you fall at all ??

Rain replied rosily

Ask me not

Ask the rain bird

Ask the parched plains

Ask the fields of rice & grain

Waiting merrily for me

Ask the kids playing down the lane !

Who I am

And where from I fall??

O I’m the life’s blood

And I run through  the vast veins

of the universe...!!!

Everywhere I am

Whispering a song

I am the ocean deep

I am the muddy pond

I’m the waves

That on the seas chest sweep

But I stay nowhere for long

I drag on

I run along

And I sublimate my form

Sometimes I dwell as nectar

In the heart of flowers…

Sometimes I becomes a dew drops…

On the cheek of a lotus leaf…

At times, I dwell in a shell

And give birth to a precious pearl

At times, I travel up the trees

And become the forest green.

Sometimes invisible unseen

I’m a ubiquitous being

But I’m called rain

When laughing, singing, dancing

I fall down

upon the parched lands & desert sands

by the touch of divine hands…!

When innocent kids feel me

on their checks

and down their back

and yelling they cry, “Rain O Rain..!!

Its then I rejoice being

Called ‘The Rain’ !!
