Multiplication of heavy drops of rain water is only to multiply my happiness. The joy I feel when it rains is indescribable. Not only my outer body but my little heart inside of it is also drenched when it rains. Rain is like the showers of the Lord gracing equally all the beings below.

O Rain! What thanks can I render for the cool gift you shower on us when the Sun competes to its peaks with its heat and timorously fades away behind the mountains with your coolness? Do you see the happiness in the eyes and throats of the little children screaming with joy when they see you traveling from above? The warm breeze itself becomes cool with your touch. The beautiful gardens await your arrival in order for them to bloom to the fullest and they love to see your mercy drooping upon them. With your touch, the flowers feel the same way the soul feels when it is touched by the divine hand. The trees when quench their eternal thirst by your down pour become so energetic and show their gratitude by their swift healthy growth by trying to reach the rafters of the sky.

Do you ever realize the fun and happiness your advent brings to our hearts? Even a person of sorrow or even the greatest enemy of nature becomes fervent to look at you gracefully skidding from your abode on to the earth. What to describe about people like me who always await you and hate to miss even a glance of yours?

You are so impatient and romantic when you reach your partner ‘the Earth’ so hastily. How can I ever forget the way you sojourn from your birth place ‘the sky’ and from your home ‘the clouds’ to land and soothe the children of the earth and the earth itself? Aren’t you ever thirsty? You always drench our thirst and the only moment you drench yours is when you become one with the earth. Upon that romantic earth I am living my life and it is only because of every drop of yours that my heart is filled with never ending Love.

“O Rain, rain your love perennially on our hearts but never in our eyes with sorrow.” -Sharmila Sanka
