A Monsoon Sky

Throughout the mid-hours of night,

Drizzling and sizzling throughout the dark,

The heavens steadily poured down over the blighted old earth.

Blessing the torrid heartlands, with its life-renewing sparks.

And giving way to a hazy dawn,

That lifted into a clear morning yawn.

Up above the horizon’s sphere,

Where once the looming great clouds have fared.

A clear blue sky stretched its luminous spell.

The sun radiates the garden.

And the trees enchant its rays.

A variety of verdant life in its hay

Dangling and prancing in unison sway.

A symphonic dance with the gentle old wind.

Where lush greeneries shrouds the earthly site.

From their limbs, fragrant blooms ignite.

Blossoming through in colorful bribes.

The songbirds are chirping.

Echoing the garden with their heavenly hymns.

Coo..Coo..A Coo-ing, they sing,

Cheep..Cheep..A-Cheeping, they bring,

Tweet..Tweet..A-Tweeting, they ring.

Secretly and silently they swing,

On the humble branches of the Mango spring,

Fluttering forth their feathery wings.

And gingerly sits to listening the wind.

Time tells them today is hale.

For they have seen darker days.

Those murkier, unlit ways,

When the dark abysmal clouds hides the sun,

And the pouring rains sweep miles across the bay.

Yet, for now that the skies are clear,

And the realm is free,

They knew it was good time to set sail to the limitless sphere.

And so over the horizons yonder,

They do took flight

Above the winding rivers and scenic sights,

Spread their wings in fluttery might,

And soared above the boundless heights.
