First Rain

One fine afternoon
Summer sun still burning the earth
Suddenly the black clouds covered the sky
The mighty sun disappeared.
It became dark as if it was evening
Wind had stated to blow
Singers of the nature had already
Started their ballad
Birds returned to their nests early
Everybody’s eyes filled with expectation
It came with a lightning and thunder
The first drop,
The starting of a heavy downpour,
The tunes of the soul danced,
As the rain sang.
The fascinating scent of the earth,
Filled the environment.
Nature overwhelmed and the first
Rain filled!
The heart of the people with new
Hopes…
Was covered once again,
With the first drop of thy precious shower,
Giving life to world !!!
