A Much Awaited Relief Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Finally it has rained with much relief
We has strong conviction and belief
We knew it can’t leave us in pain
We had prayed for lots of rain

Out patience had run out
We were not sure where to go out
What was about to happen in course?
We were duly worried of course

We were coming across unusual deaths
We considered it as nature’s wrath
We have done enough damage to environment
It is no use now to curse and lament

Can we create artificial cooling on large scale?
Can little pond make it easy swim for whale?
Can whole universe breathe and inhale?
Certainly not as it remains only tale

Nature is supreme and remains so
We have no where to go
If we fail to preserve the sanctity
We may certainly loose our entity

Let us enjoy the cool breeze
Good bye to ill feelings and freeze
We shall again pray for your arrival
We shall celebrate it as big carnival

Come dropp by drop
Rain endlessly and don’t stop
I shall watch it from roof top
Fields may look green with crops

You have brought enough of respite
We were so unconsiderate despite
We had only dust to bite
You arrived with thunder and light

Children and old ran in street
With so much happiness and joy to greet
Rainbow has appeared in sky to meet
The earth soil is happy and ready to treat


We may never dare to neglect
Earth is geared to collect
the sacred down pour with enough care
It is blessing in disguise from somewhere
