Summer Rains Poem by Nalini Jyotsana Chaturvedi

Out of nowhere
in the middle of the day
Came an army of clouds
hiding Sun's pierce rays
What a pleasant surprise
to smell that earthy scent
as drops of rain sprinkled
cool breeze followed them as well
These mid summer rains
Are rare jewels in desert and plains

In such a long time
I too could look up
for sun didn't seem the fiend
I had to ignore and snub

Akin to summer rains
there are angles
who embalm your pains
They come in form of people
help you believe in yourself again
Just like raindrops on parched lands
gives out scent
to never be forgotten in vain
The memories of such friends
help you stand up and walk again
No matter how many times you fall
and this world acts inhumanly insane....for my very dear friend whom I have been missing ever so often.....for you Maya Maryam Aghamiri....
