Drop By Drop

The monsoon has come, its raining all day, The sun is hidden, the sky is all gray, The roads are clogged with water everywhere, But people on the road is now so rare. With an umbrella in hand and wearing rain gear, We watched how the clouds momentarily disappear, Then the thunder rumbled with all its might, And it all goes dark with no source of light. At school or home we would watch the rain showers, These thunderstorms were a show of nature's powers But this year's monsoon will be a little different, Lesser umbrellas in sight due to less people in pavement, The monsoon this time will only be a beauty to the eyes, As we sit by the window looking at the skies, Summer bids goodbye and monsoon does arrive, The trees are merry and they feel more alive.  

Memories

I remember those days as it was yesterday, A bag on my back, on a hot summer day, Five great hours of my life, which I didn't value then, I wonder when will we meet again? Friends were family and the classroom our dwelling From learning to games, it was the best feeling, The rush for the canteen and a long trip to the washroom, All are now memories, frozen with gloom. It was funny to wait for the weekends to arrive, When it was just Monday and a whole week to thrive, Substitutions were diamonds, a rare trip to the grounds, The library was a market for the perfect book to be found. I never thought I would get such a long vacation, "It will end" the thought is a soothing temptation, "All bad things must come to an end" a wise man said, Old memories will be aside while new memories will be made.
