DROPS OF BLISS

                                                               (picture credit google)

Hazy mantel of inky clouds,

Prance on the afternoon sky.

Meandering winds leisurely collide,

To show mercy to Earth - so dry.

       Dusty leaves expectantly wait,

       To breathe fresh green and drink deep sea.

       And azure heavens burdened at once

       Smile, oblige, and set all free.

Crippling the pond-waiting to be filled;

Kissing the old palm tree leaves;

Lashing, windy droplets of bliss,

Cast a spell of playful glee.

       Children splash virgin puddles in fun;

       Roaming and drenching in alienated lanes,

       Rejoicing, as waters calmly embellish the day,

       I kiss the canvas of this first rain.
