Its Monsoon's *** end It shed its tears on the bare leaves The rain arrived and soon left So fast, it swept me off my feet
I share this scene of the last shower On a park bench, with the people here The mud is filled with fallen flowers Ravens will sit on trees, sky-bound till next year
The Indian cork trees hide behind hedges Collecting its last drops greedily in each flower While puddles form memories in the dead trenches Rain comes and goes, leaving only petrichor
Winter will wrap up Monsoon's graceful stay The swaying trees will bid farewell to a weeping friend The pounding on my rooftop will quickly fade I'll only desire for its return in the end
Monsoon's are an important time here in India. Its like losing a friend and then watching them come back after a year. Although, here Monsoon represents a person. I don't think I will ever see them.
