Rain..An Enigma Poem by Vidya Pandarinath

A dry, husky breathless and boundless shroud
Envelopes the tract all round the plain,
Parching and scorching the uneasy, proud
Fields of rich living tufts of grain;
An eerie, evil enclosure gasps for breath
Choking and peeling even the modest weed;
The smiling, saviour- drizzles drag them out of death
Infilling cheers and make them dance indeed..!
Twittering and popping creatures hover about
Feeling and pecking with love, the chosen lot






No one ever avoids the sporting beat
Of amorous pairs flaunting in ecstatic content;
Yet all hope and scope withdraws into retreat
As the spasmodic giant bursts out of the celestial rent
To dislodge, uproot and overthrow the poor human
Excesses and limitless acts of greedy duplication;
Tossed things drown, sink, float and in disorder run;
The agnostics curse, while the believers bend in supplication;
Perhaps impatience makes her brother- duo, Lighting and Thunder
Often threaten the exploiting humanity to tear asunder...
