Monsoon's Prelude

Nasrajan Jalin

A twinkle akin to a star's lucent.
A fleeting moment.
The drop finds its descent.

In graceful dance or daring dive,
In sorrow or in joy's jive,
It journeys earthward with fervent drive.

The earth, with a warm embrace,
Receives it into its fertile space,
Scent of first rain, a gentle grace.

The sky,
Having shed its tears,
Reveals its radiant blue anew.
