A Tree and Peacock

On a hot dry summer evening

when no one will be on the roads

A powerful thunderclap might give

A sense of your hairs standing on their own

Excitement rushes from head to toe

In a huge leprous hide

With greener bushy arms apart

Welcoming the blissful delight

The peacock on the other hand

with a hide of vibrant blue and green

Ties little anklets to its long legs

And enjoy this blissful breeze

Now it comes what they were waiting

for; tiny droplets from heaven

marking as his gracious gift

to the people on the lands with benefits

But as for a tree and a peacock

dancing out aloud

In the sense of their true lover

who sends them these lovely downpours
