A RAIN IN A SUMMER DAY

PLEASING EXPERIENCE OF MINE

A RAIN IN A SUMMER DAY

A RAIN IN A SUMMER DAY
——————————-

IT IS TOO HOT AND BURNING MY FACE
THOUGH I WEAR THE GLASS AND HAT
NOTHING COOLS ME EVEN A TREE CNNOT DO
MY TRAVEL CONTINUES HOURS TOGETHER

SWEATING AND IRRITATION IN MY EYES
PREVENT ME TO TRAVEL FURTHER
I CROSSED AND STOPPED MY TRAVEL UNDER A TREE
SECONDS HAVE GONE.
CLOUDS ENCROACHES THE COMPLETE SKY
GENTLE WIND BLOWS ON MY SWEAT AND ON MY FACE

FEW DROPS OF WATER FROM THE SKY FALLS
A SILVER LINE RUSHES ACROSS THE SKY
I FEEL THE HEAVEN AT THAT MOMENT
A HEAVY RAIN FALLS TO WET THE LAND
THE EARTH GETS COOL AS MY BODY AND MIND
