THE PORTRAIT OF RAIN

THE PORTRAIT OF RAIN

The rain came long afterwards again

Pouring through the sky as from holes,

Giving life to one and all

Quenching thirst of great and small.

It gave movement to the rivers,

To the ponds and lakes and simply water,

It gave the oceans’ waves many turns

Putting off hearts blazing flame before it burns.

The trees began dancing with each pouring drop

Leaves all began singing out of pleasure,

The birds in them could not but be gay

Chirruped in happiness like never and nay.

The earth relaxed heaving a great sigh of relief

The drizzle burst out of every soul’s prayer and belief,

Came like drink of immortality the pleasant rain

Making all free from the burning pain.

In some distant land the fisherman sang

Their hearts filled with pleasure and amusement,

He felt the warmth of rain in his heart

Imagining a beautiful picture with minds magical art.

The beauty of nature is surely enhanced

With the pearl like drops of rain,

It acts as soothing and healing balm

For the mind and heart and keeps them calm.
