The cool breeze from the southwest
Touches my face, raising goosebumps
And I know what’s on its way.
Dark clouds gather across the sky
The royal monsoon returns
To God’s Own Country !!
Monsoon and rain—
A part of our life
And our culture
Send green waves across the land.
Vigorous waterfalls roar louder
With each drop of nectar from heaven !!
The dam Shutters lift
Releasing a year’s worth of resources.
Tourist spots bustle with visitors
From near and afar
And it's a good time
For vendors along the trails !!
But then comes another face
Of the monsoon- filled with cries
pains, shivers, and silent agony
Landslides, floods, and disasters
That no words can truly capture !!
Still, the monsoon remains
An emotion for us
An identity of us
And it is one with us !!
