Rainy day

Rainy day

Gloomy day,
With the promise of rain,
The sun hided itself behind the cloud,
The thin veil was unable to shield its glow,
A weak golden rim still visible,
The wind whirled up the fallen leaves at the road side,
Pedestrians hurried along the road,
Cursing softly under their breath,
Praying that God won’t play a prank on them again,
The weather took a sudden change,
The wind howled,
The sky darkened,
Illuminated by flashes of lightnings ,
splitting the sky into pieces,
Its presence heightened by the thunder,
which rumbled off at the far side.
Picturesque?Grotesque?
Droplets of raindrops the size of tears fell down,
Gently splattered themselves against my window pane,
It was getting nastier,
The rain started to fall in torrents,
Wetting everything that came within its reach,
When would it quit?
A silent prayer mumbled,
But to no avail,
Please,don’t cry me a river!
Don’t cry me a sea…
