The First Shower

 

 

Sitting near the window pane she watched the rain drizzle

The misty smell of the soil made the ambience sizzle

 

The first little showers fascinated her

The sudden scenic beauty left her spellbound

 

The trees looked greener, their fresh aroma filling in the air

Cars splashing water from small puddles formed everywhere

 

The tiny droplets reached her face from the window

Washing the fatigue away making her glow

 

She rushed out to dance in the rain like a child

Leaving all modesty behind she ought to be wild

 

Her clean clothes now soaked in the rainy water

Her beautiful feet smudged with the mud, why bother

 

The water soothing her skin making her smile

The lovely weather pacifying her soul for while

 

The drenched cozy birds imprinted myriad emotions on her mind

Making her urge for someone special she was yet to find
