Blessing in the Rain

They say its good luck for it to be rained
When the sun hides first and the drops of water seems to shine
When the smell of the earth began to diffuse
And when the wind blows gently like a whisper in the ear

It’s way past the time, when the showers come
It’s like the time had stopped and everything stood still
Like the birds at the sky stopping to sing
Like the fish in the sea wagging its fin
Like the trees and the leaves and the grasslands too
Swaying and dancing on the wind-breeze’s song
Or the mud-splash clatters of the soil and the rain
Everything goes at it’s own pace,
Won’t you see the blessing the rain brings?

They say farewell to an act well done
When the sun disappears so suddenly and fast
When the smell of the earth became so entranced
And when every gust of the wind is a tickle in the ear

It’s way past time, when the rain pours
It’s like the time freezes and everything slowed
Like the birds flying, taking shelter in the trees
Like the fish diving to the deepest seas
Like the plants and the flowers and the bushes too
Swaying and dancing in a skylark’s hum
Or the waning droplets of little rain
Everything slows then hastens its pace
The rainbow’s sparkling like the blessing the rain brings
