The rain came like a blessing
From the glorious skies of heaven,
And it poured and poured
Tears of simple joy, crystal clear beads,
The earth soaked it in thirstily.
And I...the rich girl, with a beautiful house
Born to riches and spoiled with luxury,
I ran out and danced in the rain,
Free at last...from a promising future
That I could only see as a demon.
And then, when the rain let up
I felt the nip in the air, tingling my neck
And creeping down my spine,
I shared a quiet moment with the sweet man,
A man with no ambition and no desires,
We gazed above, as a rainbow smiled at us,
I looked on at the colours, as he whispered,
"Walk on my child and climb on high
But never miss the rainbow in the sky."

your last poem makes me sad but its so true and its also so true!!!
funny thing for an english man to admit to because rain is the one thing that we are not short of her but i absolutely love the rain. love the poem too.
Gulnaz - The truth hurts. And yes, the rain truly is a relief from the sweltering heat in most parts of India.
CJ - Thanks. I love dancing in the rain. Have you ever done that? :)
nice poem as always...but bordering a bit on social commentary, don't u feel so?
I love the way you have written this bit,
"And I...the rich girl, with a beautiful house
Born to riches and spoiled with luxury,
I ran out and danced in the rain,
Free at last...from a promising future
That I could only see as a demon."
The rain sets you free.

Shubhodeep-> It was intended to be just a personal experience that in its simplicity, left an imprint in my mind. Why do you feel so? Is it the last two lines?
Appreciate your critique.
" the man with no ambition and desire" offering his words of wisdom to the girl with a promising future..
The rainbow in the sky... there for us all. :)
