So Sweet...

Tired, I slept off early,
could not hear the clatter of the rain
nor could stretch my hands
to hold the droplets

But when I went up
to see the early sun on our terrace
I was touched by the thoughtfulness
of the chameli creeper;
it didn’t offer just the flowers - fragrant and fresh,
but it had cupped its each leaf
to fill rainwater for me to caress!
