As the day breaks

As the day breaks
and new dawn arrives
along chirping of birds
under the cover of clouds
I wait for the rain
whole day of the monsoon
but get just passing winds
as i step out in the dusk
am treated with picturesque
scene, a colorful painting
a riot of colors scattered
all above me in sky
by these very clouds
which were to rain
may be they waited
to show this sight to us
and then decide to fall
on this thirsty earth
release earthly fragrance
when first drop touches
the warmth of earth
embracing each other
like long lost love
drop is no longer a drop
its now the earth that was
and thirsty for the next
drop by drop it pours
filling earth and showing
its own existance with
so many others like it
and also its eternal love
for this very earth
that inspite of teasing
it has to fall on it
and get into its embrace
all over again and again
