Its June now..
The summer nears its end..
After a long, gruesome summer, the mere sight of clouds stretched across the sky brings respite…
My heart leaps with joy,
for the clouds bring with them plenty of promises…
Promises...
of the sweet smell of mud,
of growing grass and blooming buds,
of flashes of lightning that light up my room,
of lazy cloudy afternoons,
of the pitter-patter of the rain on the rooftops,
of shut windows glistening with raindrops,
of long walks along the beach,
of blowing winds and swaying trees,
of cuddling beneath an umbrella, a special loved one
of children playing, splashing around and having fun,
of paper boats floating in muddy puddles,
of the roars of thunder that make me tremble,
of cool cozy lonely nights,
of longings to hold a loved one tight,
of raincoats and gum boots,
of snails and rainbows and earthworms too..
so, let me close my eyes and cherish it all...
Me, my love and the rainfall..
Have a happy monsoon everyone!
