It's Raining
It's Raining
I lay on the floor
after foam rolling my back,
the music of the heavy rain surrounds me.
I look outside and wonder
how this same rain
which is soothing to the mind of a nature lover
happen to empathize with us
when we feel sad
or with lovers who are missing their beloved,
or when someone out there
lose their loved ones to death;
for them rain is creation crying over their loss.
For farmers, it's a blessing of the God
on needed days
and the same rain becomes curse
during unwanted ones.
I go and stand near my balcony
and watch a lady slip badly on the floor.
Her daughter rushes out and take her in the house.
No doubt, the rain which is music
to my ears might haunt her with a backpain
for months and even years.
I look back towards my foam roller
with questionable eyes.
On the other side of
the street, kids are bathing
like they are having the most blissful shower
of the
ir lifetime.
They are screaming in joy
and are overflowing with happiness and energy promised by a red bull drink.
An old man is sitting in his balcony
with a cup of tea or coffee or ayush kadha
in his hand is listening to radio
playing "rim jhim gire saawan".
He has a smile of contentment on his face
as he watch earth quenching its thirst.
Near to me,
a planter full of soil
and water swimming on its top layer
shows sign of some newly formed organisms.
I look closer
and they appear to me as tiny fishes.
A black bird in the corner
is sitting with its head bowing down
as praise to the lord for the falling miracle
or maybe is meditating, who knows?
Just like artificial intelligence
Rain, a super intelligence
talks to each one of us differently in our own language at a mutual time
like The Sun, The Moon, those Clouds in the Sky,
Wind and, this Creation in whole does.
