I watch the fat raindrops fall
gently they sit there bubble like
on a pool of water
their ephemeral irridescence mesmerising
and then they are gone
as I sit ensconced inside
the warmth of my abode
the transience of raindrops
a case of learning for me;
to shine in the limited time I have.

This is just beautiful, Punam. There is something about raindrops that draws us in and they are, indeed, a great representation of the brevity of life. We should all live like raindrops.

I was just reading previous comments and saw I commented previously, back in March!! This makes me so happy to know I’ve been reading your poetry for this long. I had written:
“This style of besutuful writing with a beautiful profound message feels like your signature to me. You seem to do it effortlessly.”
I stand by that all these months later! ❤️❤️
