This Summer, we all wait for Rain
The soft humming of rain
The dried rivulet longs for the rhythm of water
My ears crave to hear the roar of thunder
My eyes glitter to hold the spark of lightning
Dancing peacocks roam around
The smell of the Earth makes me wild
The droplets on the grass shine like stars
Far from the meadow, the frog croaks
With the symphony of the showers from Heaven
The wind blows heavily to greet the rain
The rainwater softly falls on the ground!
