Rain Dance

You and I date back 

To those wondrous times

When rain and thunder

Made us sing songs

Written by Tagore

Under Chatimtala

Where sat the Great Poet

Writing lyrics that have

Stood the test of time

Remember us looking

Up at the dark skies 

Rain-soaked clothes 

Clinging on us like vines

Reciting poems from Gitanjali

Unmindful of catching a cold

Unmindful of what the future held

You and I, our voices synched 

Modulating with rain's intensity

You and I carry memories of

Shantiniketan and learning

Music, without which cannot

Imagine what our lives would be

Sceptral like in a cemetery

Even as we have aged

Rains lift up our spirits

Remembering those youthful days

You and I dancing in the rain
