In anticipation....

Suddenly everything stood still

The leaves on the trees once swaying

With the undulating currents

The rising and floating dust

The clouds in the morning sky

The fine grains of sand in my palm

I am holding so tightly

Stopped seeping through the fingers

Suddenly 

The rains coming 

I felt not heard

Like an animal who can anticipate weather

But we are animals too

Bound to our instincts

Even when we try to keep them in check

And yes

Suddenly a deafening silence roared in my ear

In anticipation of getting drenched

Through the bones

The time stopped

And earth stood still

In anticipation.....
