answering rain...

Having some pre-monsoon rains,
our farmers tilled their parched land
and sowed the precious seeds.

But then the monsoon 
evaded their rain shadowed land.

I then received your message
querying,
‘Have you ever noticed 

that every raindrop
makes a crown shape

when it hits the surface,
though for a fraction of second?’

I maintained my silence

without answering the question.

I was not allowed to be in that comfort for long.
It rained heavily the same evening,
making all those crowns across the sown lands.

I should be meeting you 

somehow before the harvest.

Oh ! All along I thought I was the only person to visualize raindrops like crown. Glad, there are more. It indeed is a beautiful sight and what do they crown, who do they crown ? I still wonder. Probably the goddess of fertility embellishing the soil.
Wonderful write.
