And I Dance... Poem by Neera Lollbeeharry

After a dry spell here comes the rain
The showers swish in a sibilant sound
I hear the beat of the vibrant ground
And I dance…

The pitter patter pervades the plain
The dust flow free on a flimsy stream
I see the sunbeams in droplets gleam
And I dance…

The drumming rush spreads life again
The grimy grass gains vigorous esse
I feel the gush my avid skin caress
And I dance…

The gleeful birds pipe and hail the fall,
The burgeoning buds in blossoms burst
My hazy heart beats pulse in outbursts
And I dance…

I waltz in rhythm with the lapping flow
I sway to the beat of a throbbing earth
I leap in great joy at my own rebirth
As I dance….
