A Spring Like Day In Autumn Ii

Evening By afternoon clouds were racing in grey sky Sun light colored the western horizon sparingly In gold spilling out from clouds whenever it could I decided to seize the last pleasure Of a gorgeously passing day with An early evening walk in neighborhood The earth was still dry and sky colors fascinating But the minuet of rain drops has started I kept walking hoping to beat the clouds Shifting their gear from neutral to go Faster I walked still protected by my sweats When was the last time for me to be drenched in rain? Couldn't remember! Must be the school days when Monsoon rains poured in a matter of minutes Or may be running after kids To catch them away from their rain play. This evening it was just me Still few blocks away from home Rain didn't spare me but promised to change The joy erupted since morning into rapturous thrill How ever it did worry my son Who went in car to look for me And was relieved to see me home safe That evening I stood by the door for a long time To watch the end of a spring like day In rain, hail and tornado watch And treasured it all in my heart With a wonderful feeling of love's coating!
