A distant thunder makes heart ponder
Will dark clouds
bring rain from yonder?
Scorching heat and beads of perspiration
Make all pursuits full of desperation
Every gust of wind renews a hope
To hear lilting
tune of raindrops galore
The parched lands mutely stare at sky
Grey clouds play
game of hiding on sly
‘We come each year’ they thunder n shine
‘You wretched
humans do nothing but whine’
Go make an effort to stop precious waste
Conserve water
with firm actions chaste
PS 1: One year back I seriously started pursuing my hobby of
writing and entered the world of blogging without knowing much about it. It has
been a very satisfying journey and I came across a galaxy of bloggers that left
me in awe. Some are shining bright like Sun and Moon and others twinkle like
stars! I wish to thank all the readers and great writers I came across from a diverse
spectrum and interests who whole heartedly accepted me. I could not have asked
for more!
