Poems WEEKEND RAINS There are mornings In the surrounding garden Slight of sound A cooler touch to the skin A broken-up humid air Time has no place! The rain trickles, softly One hears it fall gently on the paving Randomly creating its own pools Brown grass awaits – sustenance indeed Parched soil invites more of the rain Can time stand still? Soft air, the smell of vibrance A foggy mind finds clarity Deep thoughts rush in Reason has no place just yet Time must stand still! Such dawns seem long-drawn Some birds courageously choose to chirp Disturbing the sleepy air, the reflective air The neighbourhood awakes Each, at their own time No struggle. 10/04/2023 Admin
