MONSOON GIRL!
by Saleema Mahmoodi
The rains had failed, the raging Sun hue !
The temperature raised and deafening noise grew.
Savagely around, the dusty sand blew,
Sky seemed very dark with no tinge of blue.
Women and men! Clustered together,
To pray for the much awaited, ?monsoon.?
The young girl stood gazing towards the dark sky-
With eyes so wide and a gleam so bright,
All the wishes and prayers gone unheard, in vain!
There was not a single drop or shower of rain!
The girl?s cheeks flushed, heart unbearable
Undaunted stood, at the clouds she looked!
The innocence tempted, the clouds melted-
Gushed down to feel the glowing cheeks smelted!
The first monsoon drops, down the whirlpool eyes flirting,
She blinked and enclosed the drops intoxicating
Felt the strange bliss and was stupefied!
Her soul was touched and felt gratified,
Triumphant was she, the nature yielded to her innocence!
Only a ?girl? could achieve what none could have done!
