Monsoon Poem by Rinshi Ansari

The dampness and coldness is soothing after the cruelty of the sun.

It calms the entire being and takes you into a world so serene.

The spirit is once more awake and refreshed.

That it opens up a new door of wisdom.

After what seem like ages of agony and loneliness,

It feels as if you are given a new life to explore

The inner self that you had kept hidden from the world.

Sometimes, life is nothing but a tasteless dish

That you have to devour with helplessness.

Fortunately, we are given a re-incarnation.

And all that was thrown towards us

Is forgotten and buried deep in our chests.

Slowly, but mercifully.
