Aug 2018
Drums beating echoed above
Feet are shuffling out of love
Prayers sent with utmost praise
Send us water Lord make haste
The heavens pour genrously
Tears upon the barren trees
Alms for the forsaken wild
Come forth, Oh! A newborn child
Smiling faces, thirst endure
Promised gift of mother nature

Sunshine is covered with gloom
Clouds dominate the horizon
Leaves all dance ecstatically
Against the gentle monsoon
The thirsting earth be nourished
With a downpour of blessings
The land embraced them-
Glistening crystal rainfall
Life rejoiced, rejuvinated
The reign of drought has ended

Weaving river out of dust
Waking greens along its path
Lovely to witness all these things
The darkened soil, puddling
Children being kids outdoors
Playful with the drizzling trees
Workers ready arm your steeds
Farmers gather sow your seeds
Cheerful spirits invigorating
These are precious times indeed
