A new beginning...

Bleak sky
withered leaves
land scorched and broken
barren trees
spirits down

i look through the window
at the gray world
wondering if color ever existed

and then there is rain
melting the heat
tiny droplets of relief
trees ... green again
new leaves ... glowing red
birds chirping
earth glowing
sky a bright blue
spirits lifted
demons of yesterday washed away

Today is a new beginning, glowing and bright
all because there is rain ...

Angelic Smile .....

On a cloudy night
she came into my life
oh what a perfect sight
loudly she cried
looking at world for the first time
eyes wide with wonder
fists curled up tight
in my arms felt so light
looked at me with questioning eyes
- who are you and who am I?
Aishi I said are you and mommy am I
there she slept in my arms content, cuddled and quite
My heart skips a beat and head feels light
when I see her angelic smile ...
