A Rain Comes Thundering In.

A little drop at first,

A little pool at the side,

A little stream washing by,

A lttle music splashing about.


Today the rain came ,

in splendour with flashes ,

and heralded by a thunder.

the pool was soon a stream,

The music a loud swish of the swaying trees,

Oh!the rain came today in torrents.

amidst the swaying branches ,

amongst the wet branches,


A bird sat wet and shivering,

the deluge was on and the bird so afraid,

life! a stream of little drops ,

and the ocean but all drops gathered.



You afraid little bird?

Thec rain comes in drops but is a deluge later,


sit still will you?you might wait a little more,

For conclusions are but amatter of contest


And to each a deluge is different,

For the rain comes pouring ,


yet stops when the clouds are empty

and the rain does cleanse the earth.

So shall you be when ,

all the ways are trodden and the journey is done.

Jayamala.
