Rain Poem by RAVIKIRAN ARAKKAL

It rained cats and dogs,
Yesterday morning,
With the droplets dancing
To the tune of the wind,
The drops living ashort life,
Uniting on the soil to becime
Streams gracefully flowing
To the lake down below,
emanating a heavenly
Earthern smell, like
The sweat of a young damsel.

I had as a young lad,
Walked in the rains as many
Times as possible felling like
The heavens wished to bless
Me with its soft touches,
Along with wind lashing
On my face, so brazen,
Yet harmless, like playing
With me, on the road
To nowhere, to give me
Memories and occassional
Experiences when it pours
All of a sudden without
Any warning whatsoever,
The encouters so lovlable

Many more the rain blessed
When I speed along on
A cycle, mobike, but only
to feel the cool in the car,
Its bessings so ovrwhelming
Giving the water of life,
With which we are made three fourths.
