Elixir Of Rain Poem by Saroj Padhi

ELIXIR OF RAIN

See how Rain seeps deep down flooding soul's lighted shores
like water into anthill's body entering thro' pores,
sputtering the deep-seated sadness of spurious soil out,
for light to enter the inscrutable mind's mythical floors;

baring the body of the ancient trappings of dust
opening the floodgates for repressed spirit's outburst
water drips from leaves, eaves, roofs and wings
into the secret sluices of a regenerative earth to be lost;

drench me dear Rain with your ecstasy on drenched wings
that impels butterflies, birds and bees to scale new heights
as they soar into cold wind that into their ear softly sings
and the dawn on palanquins of clouds, to the earth alights;

drunk with elixir of rain like an ant into honey hive I sink
as the river by my side is abuzz with sound of heavy drink!
