Monsoon Diaries

My body begged for relief from the sweltering heat

It had become a burning seat

The tyranny of summer frailed my soul and mind

Making my body a barren land

The canker sores inflicted pain

Neglecting my tears with disdain

I looked up at the sky

And asked the rain God why?

Just when I thought I was slipping into a gloom

There came the saviour monsoon

The hazy clouds danced together in bliss

And unleashed their energy to show their prowess

The coolness of the drops clung to my body

To apply medicine to make me steady

Plants and trees waved at the sky

Showing their gratitude with sheer joy

The dead land sprang back to action

Thanks to rain God, it can again function

Tears subsided giving rise to smiles

The memorable pictures sneaked into the monsoon diaries

I bathed in the gift offered by Monsoon

And found the lost peace in its cocoon
