Water from the Sky

Dear B,

The monsoons are here and I happened to be travelling when the first showers hit the city. So here is something I happened to type on my mobile as my father drove the car to our destination.

A surprise light strikes through the evening sky
A roar bellowing runs close by

A passerby looks up towards heaven
Hoping for a downpour or a drizzle even

Was I awaiting the monsoon season?
Or was I wanting to get away from the bizarre heat oven?

As I looked out the car window at a dog on the street
Drops from the sky fell heavily at its feet

Shivering from the cold, the water and the wind
It looked for shelter, found none but its skin

I propelled forwards thanking the rain gods
When suddenly the rainfall came down with a mighty force

Clattering on the building roofs and heads of men
It sang in my ears again and again

Wonderful I felt and surprised even

For this is the first time rain spoke to a mere human

Hope you enjoy the monsoons too :)

Love,

N
