DANCING DROPS

by Ambika Ananth

Like snapped pearls from the
eternal celestial strings
the shiny droplets
race down
in one great rapture
dancing to the
percussion of thunders-
rolling and rumbling
Each drop becomes
a dancing musical note
tracing its way
into earth’s expectant soul
to release the symphony
of earthy fragrant scent !

Covered in puddles of moist joy
the wet earth sprouts goose flesh
of lush green smiles
as she feels inside
the gentle pushing
of eagerly opening seeds !

There is always joy and cheer
in the falling rain
as tender secrets and memories
are revived …
spreading sweet coolness
into the yearning hearts
rain continues its dance..
Jingling ‘dandiya’ rhythms
in its passionate streams
it flows in nectarine cascades

When it rains,
life springs back to
life…
