Rain - By Sreejit Dey

There I stood in the rain-

A million droplets over me,

That draped my skin with their touch-

With a giggle, and a blush.

They fell from the sky-

Not knowing where they will fall,

Yet trusting the airs to carry them away,

To touch a human, who somewhere gently lay.

And their touch, thousand at a time,

Yet not enough to hurt,

And just enough to fill us with mirth,

Making us one with the air and soil.

These drops of rain-

Their lack of direction so,

It makes me wonder,

Why do humans need everything planned,

Wherever we go.

These drops when our skin touched-

Know all our troubles such,

And they said- “Don’t worry-

We will tell you all our secrets,

To live a life, without any regrets”

And then these drops of rain-

They took away all the sorrow and the pain.
