The rain drizzling through the black clouds
Comes down through the silver thread from heaven
Quench the thirst of Earth,
Shower cool life on every living being
Rain the elixir of life
The goose bump of the greenery
Much awaited Hornbill Suckles
The first rain drop;
Like the newborn suckles its mother's breast
The seed opens its wondered eyes to the new world
The rain nurture it with its cold touch
The black rain dances,
On the bend head of the foliage
Banyan tree shakes away all its weary, dreary summer
And wakes from the slumber
When the rain sprinkles on its face
The rain licks the smell of the earth
Akin the smell of the lovers
Cold shivering rain shatters on the roof
Rattles the old couple
But the warmth of the cool rain,
Creep in their memory, full of dream and comfort
Did the rain weep like Cressida?
For her Trojan hero in remorse
Washed away all the filth from the earth
But the cold rain pooled in my mind
Wet rain stick my dress on my skin
And wriggles its cold touch
The sun smiles through the rain
Like a baby smiles while it weeps
Rain, my cold rain, drizzling from heaven
Relievo the earth into heaven
