Raindrops - Saanvi Thakur

Raindrops
Saanvi Thakur
Rain
Whispers of the sky
Softly spilling
A gentle symphony
Each drop a note
A melody of memories
Suspended in the air
Waiting for the earth to breathe
Clouds
Heavy with secrets
Drift like dreams
Tumbling in shades of gray,
They gather
A congregation of longing
The sky's own heart
Beating with the rhythm of a storm
And then
It begins
The first touch
A delicate kiss upon the skin
Cool and refreshing
Like the first breath of spring
Awakening the senses
Drawing forth forgotten sighs
Pavement glistens,
A mirror to the world above,
Each puddle a portal,
To the sky's vast canvas
Where colors bleed and mingle
Blues and greens
The dance of light refracting
A prism of life
Children with laughter
Splash through the shallow pools
Each leap a celebration of freedom
Of the innocence of being
The rain washing away the weight of the world
Saanvi Thakur is a self-published author of two books, Whispers Between Worlds and Threads of Silence.
