THE RAINY CUDDLE.. Moitreyee Raju

 

As I stand by the window
in a thoughtful crescendo,
thinking about life's
innumerable innuendos,
I see all at once
Nature's dramatic stance!

It's the cumulonimbus clouds
that gather with aplomb;
darting all around the sky
like a big black stallion;
announcing the arrival of rainfall
with its distinguished decorum.

The streaks of lightning
and the sound of thunder
are now, all too eager
to release the rainy wonder!
The earth below waits
with outstretched arms
as if saying,
"Oh come soon,
and sing me your rainy psalm."

The rain answers
at first with large pearly droplets;
Making the earth remember
its last joyous dreamlet;
Then the watery breeze
creates a seducing tease,
coercing the tall palm trees
to shake in unison,
while bending a little
in the winds direction.

The rain has its own symphony;
orchestrating music
that caresses the periphery.
It's drumming and humming
gives the heart
a lively tuneful strumming.

I look far and wide
and rainfall is all what I find;
On the road on the roof on the pane on the lane
now rainfall is visible in every terrain!
The earth looks
puddled and muddled,
the greenery looks subtle,
and the mind...?
The mind leisurely begins to relish
the rainy cuddle!!
