Surprised by Joy

rrodriguez

Suddenly the glumly looking storm strikes

Cascades of water come in rushing waves

The celestial faucet is opened wide

Engulfing the earth in a curtain of rain

And as it started, it stopped ...

 

A thin radiant light  pierces through the clouds

A ray of gold spreads all about

Every blade of grass with crystalline drops

Trembling & transparent, they flicker

The road shone & the mystical vapor escapes

 

The rainbow arched in colorful regalia

Nature’s struck by awe, surprised by joy

Every leaf, flower, grass with gladness sang

The mayfly hovered over the satiated pond

The crow cawing runs about looking for its worm

 

The veil had been pulled, nature is bared

The sun’s fingers are tickling the earth

And every living creature is in laughter

Dazzling, melting into a kaleidoscopic vision

Of colors & everything has turned sweeter

 

A continent of shining clouds spread above

Radiant towers & hillocks of clouds gingerly parading

Touched by the hem of luminous beauty all around

Birds chirping, darting, singing, frolicking, enthused

In the field of millions of dancing daffodils

  • Comment from author about the poem: Being from a tropical island, we get a lot of rain. Flash rains in torrential pouring is the norm. But what strikes me is that as soon as it comes it goes and that's when the beauty starts. Everything comes to life. The earth is enlivened by the rain.
