Perhaps Nature Only Knows! Poem by Ramesh T A

Like ripples on the pond, the silence of environment has got
Dissipated by the heavy down pour of rain in the late night!
Perhaps to give life to the parched earth, Nature has ordained
Rain to solace the long thirst of drying dark plants at last..!
The recently sprouted grass of crops have dried dark by long
Drought even in the rainy winter season too this year suiciding
Many a farmer in uncontrollable grief for want of water for all
Irrigation and growth of crops for the next year to be happy...!
What a tragedy for the farmers as there is no water in river
And also, no rain to quench the thirst of dark soil and the hearts
Of many farmers and brothers and sisters to toil and harvest
Best crops for next year needed to lead a good life with hope!
After all failures of seasons, Nature has finally condescended
As rain to solve all the woes of the world for a better life for all
And has decided to compensate all the losses of the year by
A single stroke of cloud bursting rain perhaps Nature only knows!
