“First Rain”

The lightning strikes….
I see the glittering stars on the wet terrain,
Those are nothing but crystal drops of First Rain!

I see a white cloud amongst black ones,
Peeping me through as if playing a game,
I close my eyes to dance with a desire insane,
Wash away all my earthly pain.
Ah! The First Rain.

I hear the twittering of birds,
Sitting on the tree next to me,
Heavily soaked but passion remain,
Still find their flight hard to retain.
Ah! The First Rain!

I wish I too had wings,
Could fly like a bird,
To and fro all over the sky,
Pursuing abundant joy,
Break my gloomy chain.
Ah! The First Rain!

But soon as I wide open my arms,
Disheveled my hair,
To get heavenly drain,
Suddenly the laceration stops,
Clearing the sky all plain,
Made me to open my eyes and realize,
That I am back to sane.
Ah! The First Rain!
