Monsoon's Melody

In monsoon's embrace, the heavens weep,
A symphony of raindrops, secrets they keep.
Clouds gather in a dance of gray,
Painting the world in a watery display.

A gentle rhythm on rooftops it drums,
Nature's heartbeat, as day succumbs.
Parched earth awakens, a thirst quenched,
Life revived, in this rain-drenched trench.

Leaves shimmer like jewels, adorned anew,
Each droplet a prism, a shimmering view.
Petrichor rises, a fragrance divine
Senses awakened, in this watery shrine.

Rivers swell with passion, their currents surge,
A fluid ballet, as they gracefully merge.
Creeping mist blankets the land,
A mysterious veil, both gentle and grand.

Umbrellas twirl like colorful dreams,

As laughter dances in rain's silver streams.

Children's delight, in puddles they play,
Lost in the magic of a monsoon day.

Yet storms may rage, a wild display,
Nature's power on vibrant display.
Lightning illuminates the inky night,
Thunder's roar, a force of might.

Monsoon, you're a bittersweet song,
A dance of contrasts, tender and strong.
In your embrace, emotions entwine,
A season of wonder, where moments align.

So let the raindrops fall and sing,
In the monsoon's embrace, let hearts take wing.
A season of stories, both old and new,
Monsoon's enchantment, is forever true.
