The First Downpour ©

An unruly gust of wind
The first drop of elixir on the craving, parched streets
The smell of moist earth
The steamy sighs of gratitude and relief of the rugged, scorched land
The rhythmic swing of trees in sync with Mother Nature's orchestration...

Finally, it rained.

Smoothened all the eneven edges,
Welled up within, emotions insung, unheard....

This is a night of mellifluous confessions
Of silent hearts dripping with love.
This is a night to forgo the past,
To embrace a new begining ahead.
This is a night to rejoice
The coolness outside and within.

This is a night to admire
A night to stay transfixed,
To let the time stand still
To feel raindrops on the window sill
To listen to the crickets chirping softly heralding rest and love
To watch the fireflies shaking heaven's tears of their luminous countenances

This is a night to let the smiling heaven watch us fall asleep...
A night to celebrate,
The First Downpour of rain...
