View From Window Pane Poem by Umasree Raghunath

3 Dec 2012


Looking out of the window pane
I watch the stars disappearing in pain
As the clouds overshadow them in disdain
And my thoughts linger all along my brain

The clouds turn thicker and dark
And trees swing in the winds hitting the bark
The birds run behind the nests to hide
As the thunders start roaring loud and wide

The first showers that touch the earth
The smell of the mud that raises the dirt
The little insects that shiver in the rain drops
And the small animals run for shelter crops

Suddenly the evening turns into a rainy night
The beautiful sun disappears into the skilful might
The dark canopy of clouds attire the night sky
And I look into the darkness and wondering why

The shining thunder lights sending frighten sounds
Louder barking of the hovering distant hounds
Children wanting to play in the rainy mud ponds
Yet the elders warning them not getting wet in the grounds

The twilight of the night fall that comes to my mind
Of the boats we rushed in the waters from the rain
The childhood in me awakens and rejoices again
Making me smile, giggle, whisper within my kind

Feeling like cuddling to my favorite teddy bear
And hugging all over and going to sleep
Yet wanting to watch the night unfolding
In the raining weather that is beautiful to describing

As the stars start to reappear after the heavy rains
I rejoice counting them like a child playing in the rain
The sky is wishful after the rainy night
Just like the life that is calm after a stormy fight!

I happily Love every rainy night!
That lets me think and dance in my tunes!
The Tunes of my heart that cherishes its beat!
Every rain drop is an epitome to smell the earth’s retreat!
