The Rain

a poem by Sathya N K

The golden rays, pierced through the tree tops,
the yellowish sun covered the entire grass.
It was a perfect evening, as I entered the park,
as the daylight, was giving its way to the dusky dark!

The trees were waving their heads in tune with the breeze,
people were lazing all around at their ease.
My eyes met a children play area amid the greenish pasture
where the kids were at play with fun, frolic and laughter!

My thoughts drifted away far across the ocean,
towards my loving daughter, yearning for her presence.
Her absence brought the clouds into my skies,
and I couldn’t stop the rain which came in my eyes!

The pangs of separation hurts, it really it does,
at times it makes me feel all alone, helpless.
But to wait for the days to go by,
until I have my beloved one again near by!
