First Rain

Fountains of happy feelings are shooting cheers all the way
Chutes of joys are showering down with the summer's first rain


Flock of birds kiss the river face in a sprightly game play
The river swells with pride inviting these merry birds again



Call of the nature is answered by trees who sway and whistle
Cleansed branches bow down to touch feet of the earth mother


Fallen leaves draw a portrait, painted in the color of drizzle
Artist in the clouds shows, why he is second to none other



Spring from the heavens has brightened the colors of the temple
Red and blue flowers compete each other with their bright colors


Many a lights dance on shimmering roads enjoying the sprinkle
Peeping Sun looks at its own reflection in water made mirrors



Sweet smell from the wet earth has captured everyone's senses
Couples fallen in love, walk arm in arm by the romantic byways


Girls look even pretty giving dazzling smiles to flirting breezes
Unhesitatingly, the lightening flashes to capture their jolly ways



Mother sheep fascinatingly watches her lamb running from the rain
Water puddles are full of playful children with nothing to complain


Withered faces in windows reflect childlike fervor through the panes
Hoping in their hearts to see again the next summer's first rain
