Rain

Rain
Thunder  is shrieking
It  is  raining
Drenching  the earth
A  sprout  yearning  to pop out 
Pops its  head  out
Nature is weeping
Looking  at  its  infant 
And  nurtures it
In her  lap
Sprout  lies there ruminating
With  its  limbs 
On  her  bosom 
Slowly  opens her eyes
By  the  dab  of  light
T'morrow  she will  rise  up
In  the  new world
With  her  Leaves like wings
In  future  she  will  have  the  bliss
Of  getting the  spring's  kiss
She will blush
And  smile at  him
With  bright  petals  in  bloom
But if  her  flimsy leaves
Are  ruptured  by  a  brutal  arm
Pang  of  nature
Teem  down  as rain
Cry  of  nature
For  her  daugher

  1. It's beautiful, dear.When i read this poem, for a brief instant, i became a tender bud, listening to nature's lullaby, in the security of her love, in the world of rosy dreams.
