Unspoken Joy Poem by Jayatissa K. Liyanage

Longed for months, drought's day
Is going to get washed away
Soon enough within a day
As it appears, the vast cloud, grey

Over the mountain, at distance
Emerald carpet, once was
Seem smiling and overjoyed
Out crying in joy of hopes getting fulfilled

Like viewing through a screen of
Scorched plant leaves, parched twigs
Scald turf and skeletonized plants
A peacock dancing tat a tat... tat-tat-tat

Peasants and village folks
Dancing to the tune of heart beat
To afford a rousing welcome to the fall
Whole world waited for so long
