A slight tap as they patter on my glass,
The sleet breezy monsoon awash at my doorstep
Giving life to the well parched earth
As I wake up to the heavenly earth scent
Rays break through, as the clouds pass through
I watch in earnest as she dutifully passes by
No smile or time to smell the flowers
Just two coconut swabs, no hands for joy
As it trickles, a lovely shiver down my back
One drop is enough to excite
Yet below that basket, selling his ware
Ignores the thousands that greet him the same.
Small I recall, those sinking paper boats
Following the snake as it swiveled lane through
Where eyes of age just as mine
Built sand castles to save his small dwelling house
Dark stains flow on both sides of the road
Honks & frenzied lights steal dangerously through
As we hurry under maple leaves & shelters abeat
Watching the children of the night as they splash through
Glittering eyes, a set of white, an oasis present to be
A moment of rest, burdens forgotten and washed away
The pure nectar drenching on them, a admire by side
Of a blessing only they understand………
