Melody of the Clouds
The pleasure... the delight...
the aroma of the first rain drops
kissing the parched earth...
Creatures, big and small,
joining in the melody of this
Heavenly song of nature.
Frogs and toads, peacocks alike
calling their mates from afar
to dance and revel.
The lightning and thunderstorms
applauding their performance
with roars, cheers and claps.
Birds, flocking to their nests
to enjoy the beauty of the downpour
with their young ones.
Unaware humans running for shelter
under trees and eaves
apparently concerned
about reaching home late
and oblivious
to the psychedelic painting.
Gloomy grey clouds complete
the vivid splash of colours.
The sun, tired of its play
of hide and seek,
hides again to take some rest.
There's a young girl, seven,
close to Nature,
Shush! Don't disturb her,
just look.
She lifts her head as if in praise
and listens intently
to the music of the clouds...
