THE FIRST RAIN


THE FIRST RAIN

Oh! The first rain does enthuse and enliven a dry life,
Like the unique and unforgettable first Love!
Its diamond drops, like the sweet kisses of a loving wife,
Touch, energise and revive the singeing and thirsty life's globe!

Oh! The first rain, like a loyal spouse's enthralling embrace,
Does bless the waiting Earth with a wetting and soothing grace!
It does bring cheers and greenery on Her sweating and breathtaking surface:
Ah! Both enhance in life an ecstatic, energetic and rejuvenating richness!

Oh! The first rain, like a lady's first delightful, dream delivery,
Showers on life abundant happiness and euphorically verdant revelry!
It washes away all the disgusting the dusts of decay and decadence,
It pours in life the fresh cascades of promises and prosperity immense!

Oh! May smile, on one and all, the much sought after first rain!
May all relish its blissful benediction to end infertility,  inertia and pain!

*Benedictions - blessings

  6. Rain comes with rumbling of clouds, roaring of thunders and flashing of lightning that invoke a feeling both exciting and scarring.
