Petrichor


                   Petrichor ! What an exclusive smell !
                   It augurs well !
                   Parched by summer, the thirsty earth
                   Hieves a sigh of relief with mirth
                   First rainshowers tickle the earth
                   All greet them knowing their worth
                   Raindrops strewn like pearl grains
                   They nurture dreams of gains
                   Pitter! Patter ! melody of assurance
                   Petrichor  spreads promising fragrance
                   Petrichor generated with showers of pearls
                   Everyone inhales it lungful dancing with twirls
                   Raindance with invigorating petrichor
                   Satiates fully the inner core
                   Petrichor  heralds  soon
                   Much awaited monsoon !!



                   My Being

                   They feel my being assertive
                   For their selfish motive

                   Judging my passion
                   They regard me as ocean

                   Seeing my ability best
                   They raise me to Mount Everest

                   When they w'd see me crippling
                   "My Being" w'd reduce to
                   "Me Being"

                   From deep ocean
                   Reduction to potion

                   They w'd dismount me from Mount Everest
                   To take mandatory rest

                   Further "Me Being" also w'd lose its grace
                   And reduce its space

                   Ultimately it w'd become incapable
                   And exist as a point invisible !!
