Rains in Tirupati

It rained all night and all day 
Frogs croaked 
From muddy cesspools 
Wet crows shivered 
On wind-buffeted branches 
Stray dogs shook themselves 
Of chilly wetness 
Moths took wings 
Of one-day glory 
Coconut trees swayed 
In rain-drenched delight 

Droplets from the sky 
Were manna to the Chittoor farmers 
Drought and despondency 
Gave way to regeneration and hope 
Rain-soaked Tirumala hills 
Waited expectantly 
For the ensuing festivities 
Of God's Brahmotsavam 

Rivulets flowed on the hills 
In shimmering cascades 
The hills wore a mantle of green 
Bright yellow flowers of Sampangi 
Filled the air with heady fragrance 
All the creatures of the earth 
Joined in the ecstatic chorus of life.
