Journey of Rain
Preconceived notions mar the truth and have the potential of doing irreparable damage, says the poet.
No one saw the purity of chirpy rain
during her journey from sky
to the dusty by lanes
of the neglected terrain
They find rain settled
in the puddles of manmade alley,
flowing along the muddy pathway
and easily call it profane
The innocent rain remains
impervious to the
power and permanence of destiny
mired in the maze of
corruption and sin within men
and everything conspired
against her
in the imperfect, unfair world
No kintsugi can ever save
the broken spirit of rain
She will have to reincarnate
to be called ‘pure’ again
