My Rain Showers...

I still remember that day,

It was a bright dawn

The light rain shower

Was at interval

Into broken pauses,

Renewed gusts of wind

amaze it from  first silence.

I take up my guitar.

Casually I touch the strings,

 Till, without my knowing,

The music borrows the mad

Rhythm of that storm

I see her figure as she steals

 from her work, stops at my door,

and retreats with hesitating steps.

She comes again, stands outside,

Leaning against the wall,

Then slowly enters the room

 and sits down.

With head bent,

she plies her needle in silence;

but soon stops her work,

and looks out of the window;

 Through the rain at the

blurred line of trees.

Only this - one hour of a rainy noon

filled with love, emotions,

memories, shadows;

songs and silence.
