Monsoon

Monsoon

  When the rivers want to quench the ever-thirsty ocean,
  When the plants yearn for a bath to get ready for Autum,
  When the seeds want to sprout to fill the naked lands,
  Then….Then Nature reminds Summer that it’s turn is over 
 
  When the Moon plays hide and seek throught the night,
  When the stars prefer to stay out of sight,
  When the evening comes suddenly with the songs of the frogs,
  Then….Then the procession of clouds begin with lighting and thunder 
 
  When the Earth is excited like a girl in love,
  When the sky is unpredictable like Life and Death,
  When the feeling is thrilling like the first touch of youth,
  Then….Then it is obvious that the MONSOON has come!
