Homecoming After Rain Poem by Anitha Vijayakumar

After a long while, I return to my nest,
To a land draped in green, in her finest dressed.
The earth has bathed in a shower's embrace,
And nature stands glowing, with fresh, gentle grace.

Leaves wear diamonds, kissed by the rain,
They glisten and dance as if shaking off pain.
The channels hum softly, in a joyful, sweet tune,
Reflecting the sunlight, a mirror of noon.

The air smells of earth, rich, wild, and new,
A scent that whispers, 'We've waited for you.'
Flowers bloom brighter, their colors more deep,
As if from their slumber, they've awoken from sleep.

Birds sing in chorus, a welcome-back song,
Their melodies cheerful, clear, and strong.
The breeze weaves through, with a gentle embrace,
Brushing my cheek with its cool, misty lace.

Oh, nature has readied her heart and her face,
To greet me, to hold me, in her sacred space.
After rain's sweet cleansing, so pure, so divine,
I'm home once again, in a world wholly mine.
