Upon a Rainy day

Lying in my hospital bed 

In the corner by the window 

Watching the clouds form and melt 

Watching the sun, rise and set its shadows 

Day in and day out 

No walking around 

For my limbs couldn’t hold strong 

Weary and ill were my lungs 

Fortunate they didn’t give out 

I live stronger today 

To see through this beautiful present time  

It was loud and rainy 

When I wrote this back then 

When it was 

The 7th day of the 6th Gregorian month 

2020 was the year 

Reveling in heavens showdown 

The skies prepared for a major pour down 

Building up the momentum gradually 

Like a thief creeping tip-toed slowly while you slumber 

First the gentle rumbling of the clouds 

Followed by sparks of lightning all around 

Upon teasing some hours 

Heaven’s party was full on! 

The wind took speed 

Big drops of rain 

Pattered against my window pane 

Trees in a swing to and fro 

All dancing to the rhythm of the storm
