I Watch The Monsoon Clouds Poem by Anil Kumar Panda

I watch the monsoon clouds
Coming closer to my land to
Alight as rain with a soft sound;
To mingle with rivers and streams
To fill the fields and valleys and to
Roll down rooftops to soak the ground.

I watch the monsoon clouds
Gathering over my land in slow
Paces bearing inside them much rain;
To look dark through day and night
To fill the air with sweet musical notes
To go on dancing along valley and plain.

I watch the monsoon clouds
Flying over the grove towards
A land never to return and pour;
To leave my land dry and parched
To drive animals homewards at noon
To make life miserable with burning floor.
