Oh Lord of Rains...

Oh lord of rains!
Here is the chronicle of our complaints.
At distance, i see a horizon
on the lands, parched by the hot scorching sun.


I see the rivers and the ponds dry,
and found people in hunger, cry.


Deep in their throats, thirst i found,
Sad and sullen is how they sound.


Seasons passed by, there were no crops,
for the planet was and there were no rain drops.


Pots empty, withering trees,
lives were everything but at ease.

The globe turned impoverished and torrid,
with no food, no water, no hope, no life, the thought was so horrid.


I learnt that earth and sky can never ever meet,
this was the humblest way of nature's deceit.


Sans food, sans water, sans life, sans hope,
darkness invading,life was on a drooping slope.


Tightly shut my eyes under the sky in desperation,
the result of pain,hnger, thirst, laceration.

I felt on my forehead, a cold rainy pearl,
opened my eyes in surprise to see the life take a twirl.


Witnessed the heavy downpour,
like it happened in ages, never before.


Had seen the dead grass turn lush green,
felt an unknown mystic sheen.


Saw many like me bouncing back alive,
souls and spirits jumping  in mirth and jive


Blessings that the rain showers
propels  us to move ahead with renewed powers


the rain washed our fears,
the rain dried our tears,


It turned us a new leaf,
instilled in us a new belief.


I realised after arid summers, come the fresh springs,
depleting the dearth, repletes with he mirth it brings


Oh lord of rains,
there are no more complaints
bring loads and loads of rains,
drain away all our pains,
bring in all new gains.:)
