Rain, Rain! !
Fall in drops
On the parched earth
That is thirsty for years
And wait for your coming
With eager heart.
Rain, rain
Do not go away
Riding on the crest of clouds
Close your wings
And stay a while
Descend on green mountains
To touch the land
And fill the cracks
With your gift abundance.
Flow through the earth body
Like blood in vessels
Fill the ponds and rivers
Sweep the earth
With your impressions
Before you run back
To the swelling arms of sea
And ride again
On the crest of clouds
Flying away with winds
With your tapping songs.
Absolutely wonderful! ! Rain is full of mercy..it is a mother’s love..it is life seeking a resting place, I see all of this in your poem..it embraces the soul! ! This will no doubt be poem of the day, I’m sure of it..to my favorites!
Bharati, this is a wonderful poem on Rain, so beautifully penned by you. Rain is the elixir for Mother Earth. After a scorching summer, rain is welcomed with open arms by one and all.
Reading this, Bharati, I think immediately of my own prayers for rain—which I’ve been thinking about lately as this is our monsoon season and, so far, we’ve had just one significant rainfall. Perhaps you’ve read them already. The two titles that come to mind right away are “Rain Prayer” and “ Refresh, O God.” -Glen
The poem weaves a fascinating scene of rain which is as blissful for the man as it is for the earth after a long dry spell. Thanks, Bharati ji. This is so amazing. I quote a few lines: Rain, Rain! ! / Fall in drops / On the parched earth And fill the cracks / With your gift abundance. Like blood in vessels / Fill the ponds and rivers
A nice poem with a sweet flow. Like to read again and again. Loved it.
Reading the poem my mind goes to rains likely to enter its Indian phase at Kerala shortly. It must be a rare soul that would not like rains, I wonder. I too await with 'eager heart'.
