Twinged

This day, the morning sky,
dipped in hues that made me cry....
those clouds deep grey..
weren't timid but stray.
Roaring... they howled and tore...
till they ripped to the core
Dripping down the pain...
Someone smiled and called it 'rain'!!

It tore apart in pain...
For a smile that danced in rain;
A drop that twirled in whorls,
another seized, to shape a pearl!!
Neither saw, how they were blessed,
distressed cloud was never caressed..
Bearing fruits and flaunting beauty..
The earth too faltered duty..!!

The thunder came to rest,
Sun tried to shine it's best..
while it's time to sleep in peace,
cloud has shed off all its fleece.
As it poured.. the last it had,
a rainbow streaked ahead,
to pay condolence which was due..
as no flowers were seen in queue!!!
