The surroundings after one hour of raining

In an evening

By Esala GunathilakePublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

I headed to the door,

And unlocked the key,

I just stepped,

Outside the door,

That was a separate world,

I thought twice,

‘Is this the surrounding,

That was,

Before an hour?’,

Really, the poor lad,

Inside my soul,

Had been astonished,

For seeing the fascination,

The roads,

As far as my eye could see,

Were like the paths,

That led to the heaven,

The whole sky was,

An orange terrace farmland,

It was the gloomy dome,

In this miraculous heaven,

The breeze you made,

Blocked my thoughts for a moment,

The raindrops were,

Still kissing the roads,

The rainbow was,

Still missing the warmth,

*************************************************

Oh! Dear rain,

You are such a dexterous,

You just fell for an hour,

But then see,

You had painted this nature,

From your artistic hands,

In a way,

The breathless people,

Could deeply breathe,

And the blind people,

Could soothe their eyes,

By spreading this hue,

On their eyes,

The dumb people,

Could say out loud,

‘You are amazing,

My dear surroundings’,

******************************************************

Of course rain,

You did it dearly,

Really, the poor lad,

Inside my soul,

Had been astonished,

I am counting,

Till you are coming another day.
