It's just like yesterday
The dark clouds are hovering
But the rains just don't arrive
It's been like this for many days now
The rains it seems have forgotten about my village
They don't remember me no more
Earlier they'd pay me a visit regularly
Falling with such magnificence and grace
Creating a harmony so beautiful
So surreal
So inspiring
They'd meet the rivers and ponds
Play with the wind
Caress the grass
Fill the trees with joy
Fill the birds with such energy
Kiss the earth with such incredible passion
They'd fall on my terrace with such vigour
I'd bathe in it
I'd dance in it
I'd taste every bit of it's glory
It was such a soul satisfier
They'd fall on my window panes...
...writing messages of love and hope
...messages of faith and belief
They'd travel many a miles just to come and meet me
Alas!...they don't come here anymore
It's all a thing of the past now
And i just can't seem to fathom this
How could it make me a stranger in an instant???
My village is burning
My soul is yearning
Each and everyday i'm praying
Dear rain...please pay my village a visit
It needs you
I need you
You mean everything to me
I need to feel you on my skin
I need to be touched by you
My soul is but a barren land without you
So please come and meet me
