Rain Rain

From a blazing day, it slowly turned dusky,
Temperature dropped from 40 to 24 degree.
Leaves and branches started waving.
The air carrying a petrichor,
A long string of light, and then some rumble.
Ramped towards the window and saw few drops on the glass,
Tried making a face, suddenly it rained.

A sudden relief from the parching sun,
Everything appeared fresh in a fraction of seconds.
Dust from the buildings and bushes is washed off.

The spluttering sound seemed to be raspy, 
But in chorus some hidden cheers.

Wheels splashing the water and roads are flooded,
Drivers adjusting and wiping the rear mirrors,
Headlights are on and the flapping wipers.

The agitated mob running around,
Some smiling and some looked frowned.
Men folding their trousers and women squeezing the stole,
Slowly, the rain became heavier and everyone was drenched.

Beautiful weather and a lovely sight.
