If the rain drops on time
====================


The timing of the rain fall
And its density of course
Is not exactly known, it seems
to the respective department—I suppose

Then how can my village know more about it scientifically
You may get a doubt naturally in tune
Resenting drought conditions if any
They raise their heads towards the heights of the sky

And eagerly wait to see for the thick black clouds
The village weeps if the rains don’t bless the crops
With adequate rain fall to sow and sprout the plants
Only that will help the villagers to meet their both ends meet


When a large amount of thick black clouds
Embrace the sky with very much affection and affinity
and the dragon flies begin to hurl flying kisses
towards the sky at higher planes with so much of love springing

The soil starts scenting differently, differentiating with normal one and
The entire village gets ready to celebrate the occasion in a grand manner.
They blow the drums and sing melodiously , in praise of the GOD , very many hymns
and dance instantaneously to those tunes as if a cordial guest is arriving on time

The sprouting plants, from the underneath,
breaking their shackles if any raise their heads above their trunks
in order to immediately quench their thirst [kept dried in their hearts so long]
as and when the drops of rain fall reach the soil plots and to their roots


The trees that were lined up in nude and bare postures in shyness
start to dress their branches with tender leaves in green and in quick readiness.
The flowers start blossoming in with needed fragrance
to attract the butter flies to their sweet folds

If the rain god has not by heavens sake
entered into unlawful agreement with flooding agents
to settle the scores with the people who wantonly
encroached its catchment area and made it shrink to lower margins
it will go on well like a welcome march
