Dancing in the rain

She walked along the road, rough and dry;

A rocky terrain, only lifeless souls nigh

Plodding along under the scorching heat, and

A sky devoid of clouds fearing the wrath of the sun

She wished to escape the shadows of her wrongs

That weighed her down and chased her all along

In search of an oasis that seemed only a mirage

Still hoping for a day better than her last

There were others who fell, when she stood tall

Succumbed to the light that galloped them all

When the eyes closed to darkness, all but one

As she moved ahead staring at the sun

And when it seemed that her world would burn

And her soul would fall apart under the mighty sun

There came a cloud, as resilient as they come

Brushing through the sky, parallel to none

Soon others followed as if taking a cue

Together they splashed the sky in a splendid blue

She watched as they fought till the battle was won

Tears streaming down, her prayers finally sung

And as the sky rejoiced in the new cool breeze

The clouds descended among the trees

And then came the rain, cheerful and coy

And morphed her tears into those of joy

The wind caressed her wounds, soothing her pain

The shadows now receded, she danced in the rain.
