The Cloud and the Rainbow

Dense cloud in the sky

No light of the sun

Darkness all around

In this summer season

Hot weather sweating the body and firing the nature

Suddenly the sky becomes so gloomy

Just like my beloved’s face in the shadow of sorrow

It stands as the dead of the dark starless night

In this puzzled situation I lean down in the lightning

The earth trembles with fire and die so many people in the thundering

After the rain in the half bright sky the rainbow blooms out with a hope

That colorful garden laughs out with heavenly brightness

The deaths embedded on the ground

And the bright flowers smiling on the other side

The rain takes out the lives in contrast it helps sprout the new lives

And the colored rainbow in the sky smiles in the glory of hope

We everyday weave.
