Rain in the desert




The reign of dry sand
Encompasses the life
Drying, withering but
With a hope to thrive
The scorching sun
Glares and pulverize
Pang of heat stirs up
The urge to survive
A little hope to the
Clouds floating by
Eyes in search of calm
Behold the grey sky
And when tiny drops
Fall on parched earth
The peacocks dance
Intoxicated in mirth
Wren sings in melody
As the buds unfurl
Frogs hop around
While butterflies whirl
Carpet of wild flowers
And greenery all around
This change in air
With the rain’s sound
A seedling stretch
Greeting the world
Leaves glisten with
Droplets as pearl
Rainbow soothes
The sky and hearts
Shimmers of beauty
While the sadness departs
