Winter is behind me
Boarded into spring,
So many rainless weeks
A long drought brings,
The hot blazing air
No moisture in there.
A crow cries with a cracking voice,
Dry beaks are wide open
Looking for a drop of rain.
Mother duck in the pond,
Looks at her ducklings
With sadness in her eyes !
How can they learn to swim !
In the tiny muddy puddle !!
Frogs don’t jump with joy !
They keep slipping in the muddy water,
Throats are dry , changing voices
As they sing !
Dewless lawns in the morning,
Struggle to lift their bodies with a smile.
The Sun is on constant duty
No break even for a while,
Rays of intense Sunlight
Relentlessly shines on the earth.
The hot breeze blows,
From the North and West
Dispels clouds,
Temperature rises, can’t escape.
Flower petals coated with dust,
As their dreams die !
Soil suffers, begging for rain,
To come down and
Soak the land for fresh grain.
Green bushes discolour and fade,
Farmers praying for grey clouds
To bring the rain drops at their aid,
While cows and lambs look for shade.
Our hearts are like a desert,
Waiting to be soaked by rain.
Better days are surely coming
To soothe our lands,
And our cracked tongues and soil.
Oh, Lord shower Your mercy
With rain !
For what cause
Is the land deprived
Of Your blessings ?
Please bring Your blessings
Upon us again !!
