Fragrance of First Rain

When Sun sent her daughter away saying I will keep you in the sky
Sans any obstruction for miles together, between you and my eye

If I keep you still I will then see only a part of your lovely face
Oblivious of the environmental damage on land water and space


Therefore you shall always be rotating and moving on feet
In an elliptical path enjoying day and night and seasons’ treat

In summer the glance of affection of Sun falls on Earth at angle right
And all living beings crying for relief from heat and days bright

Earth told the Sea you are cool and have heat capacity very high
Go and tell grandpa Sun to cut glare and save us from getting fry

Going of sea as a whole would get the aquatic life to dead
So he sent up a part of himself into the sky to plead over head

For days conditions on Earth did not change and went worse
People starting crying, animals dying and birds were in remorse

Earth sent an SMS to the water which had now ended up as a cloud
So near the Earth and drifting fast making lightening and noise loud


The cloud forwarded the SMS to his buddies asking to come one and all
Over the parched land and danced up and down in as many drops small

Separated from the clouds dark, the baby drops first cried hoarse
But later enjoyed the fall like a paratrooper under gravity force


And dancing with strong cool winds, drops came to kiss mother as in a race
“Yo contendiendo”said the Earth pleased at drops touching her face

Very happy Earth soon gave out a cosmic fragrance even in heat
That any scent, vanilla fragrance of flowers or nectars it would beat

That union of drops with Earth was like souls meeting God in joy
Many drops continued to fall with Earth also shedding tears of joy
