The rains have arrived

The cool winds strike your face,
providing that calm quiet solace,
 the sun seems to have set,though yet it has not.
Is it the sign of rains?? No, maybe not.

Just then, the first drop, falls to the ground,
followed by so many others on their way down,
to wipe the dust right off the leaves,
 to make them green lovely trees.

Those that were waiting with their arms wide open,

                to receive the first drops, the joy of being soaked.               

The fragrance rises just in time,
to mark the beginning of this wondrous occasion,          
why do people run for shelter,the trees cant help but wonder,
as they rejoice what they've been waiting for,
 a little longer and hope they would have lost.      

You wonder if its come just for a fleeting appearance,
 but no, its not so,and your heart leaps with joy,

while it continues to pour, as though the earth deserves it all.

the sun slowly hides,to be lost into oblivion,
the night queen arrives to spread her dark blanket over the sky,
the cool wind has reached your very soul and you instinctively feel alive,
oh what a feeling to know, the rains have finally arrived.

(I always owe it to the rains to make the statement "The poet in me has risen again :) " )
