A Summer Rain

Folder: 
Nature/Environment

Hear the early morning shower

A sign of the summer fair

Quenching thirst of season's dryness

Of droughts and doubts refreshed.



Tears of the gloomy sky

Cascading from the clouds

Of nimbus in the stratosphere

Falling like manna in the air.



Peltings of rain may shy away

Like teardrops they run away

From the earth condemned by aridity

Of the land parched by southern severity.



Showers of this Monday morning pray

Blessings from above dispelling prey

Drenching a scalding memory

Of a scorching summer day!
