The Mountain and The Monsoon’s Messenger

Few breaths away from final breath

I was about to rest in peace

In a land ruled by dread of death

Suddenly Dropped,Rain's first kiss...

Penetrating my skin of stone

She entered the raunchy realm of rock

The deadly dare of a drop alone -

Was enough to shake and shock …

What made her did this? Who knows why?

Suicide like this is but a crime

Where I was left to dry and die

Sucked, slumped, she could be anytime

But determined she kept crawling

Crossed every cavity and hole

With fainting eyes I kept looking

She was so sworn to save my soul

With her, back they started to come

Dreams and hope that were lost and thrown

I never wanted to become

Another lifeless stack of stone

Defeating all the hurdles She

Infused inside the heart of hill

She gifted my life back to me

She felt my joy, I felt her thrill

Thirsty for thirty thousand years

Couldn't believe she'd really come

Never before my eye knew tears...

She spoke to me, so soft, so calm

"Despair not, O Old Mountain!

Hear the message I've come to say -

Here comes The Army of The Rain

Monsoon is also on her way......"
