droplets of rain
earth’s wishful mouth
open for torrents

Anticipation and Acceptance
A small drop fell down hesitantly
looking for acceptance
and the reaction was intense
as hot sand coiled together
The sea halted its waves for a second
to listen to the distant thunder
Busy passers stopped midway
only to send up a soft prayer
and a girl jumped up in glee
preparing to dance with the heavy rainfall
Just a Drop of Water
The parched land
The dried grass
And withered young leaves
Plead for a drop of rain
The thirsty bird looks up
And squeaks weakly
As the unwanted sun
Stares back, helpless
The flower’s upturned face
And open mouth
Long to taste
A drop of sweet water
Unrelenting Rain
The cold rain
Wakes the slumbering tree
And mighty birds flee
With noisy clamour
As people rush for shelter
Leaving tiny plants
To shiver the wrath of shower
The furious and unrelenting rain
Pours over every life, every structure
And withdraws in unexpected haste
Is it overcome by fatigue?
Or perhaps by sympathy?
As it waits for yet another day
To unleash its fury
