RAIN

                                                       
I race down to the parched earth
Slapping the damp ground
I spitter-spatter everywhere greeting the dirt
I love to paint the leaves with a skittering sound

I steal sadness like a malicious thief
From the hearts of the little kids waiting for the school bell to ring
As I shower amazement and happiness that runs through their sleeve
And always urges them to dance and sing

I am rain sneaking, dancing and jumping
No one can stop me when I want to come in

I slide down the brown bark
Weaving in and out of its grooves
While tickling the little birdie’s neck in the dark,
I often linger between the horse’s hooves

I waltz here and there in the misty weather
And giggle, pounce and sprinkle
I the beauty of nature who’s even lighter than a feather
Jives near the banks of the Ganges and drench into the holy river

I am rain sneaking, dancing and jumping
No one can stop me when I want to come in

People come out of their houses just to have a glimpse of me
And satisfaction hails from crowded roads and silenced streets
Farmers laugh and celebrate after long days of grief
Even though the roads become more crowded and the streets become muddy

And then it’s time for me to stop
The thundering ends and the sun comes out
The rainbow fells in its place without a pause
The clouds go away and nature glistens its beauty all about

I am rain sneaking, dancing and jumping
No one can stop me when I want to come in
