Rainy days
Transform the earth in many ways
Desert sand parched with thirst
Welcome water from the sky's burst
Sun peaks from cracked cloud
Close to darkness like a shroud
Leaves reach skyward and brightens
Flowers cup raindrops as their tension
lightens
Brains used to sun
Feel rejected and shunned
Such a controversy
Since the earth was thirsty
Find the peace within the plant
Listen, as raindrops begin their chant
Clouds are but a cover
The earth is their lover
For another day our thirst is quenched
As the gullies become drenched
--Kamala
