first rain..........



runs a mild tingle,
as d little drops jingle;
onto the lucid panes, dancing diamonds fall,
drip down with an exaggerated crawl..


thirsty, the yearning ground below,
graced by a few clouds' mellow,
every drop spreads...with its share of joy,
wets every stone,every corner coy!


with the plunging, rhythmic beat,
a dreamy mind is on a wilder fleet;
a subdued sun's dimmed ray,
makes all worries shy away!


pushing me toward poetic ponder,
my alter ego inches to thoughts yonder;
that first fragrance filling my senses..
not a single muscle nor nerve now tenses!


a ready smile, needs no preparation;
a deep sense of peace and veneration...
for, the dry summer's first rain,
alleviates every soul gnawing pain!!
