Rained Heavily

Last night it rained heavily
We heaved a sigh of relief happily
It was respite from hot waves
I felt it may relieve people and help to save

How many deaths due to heat?
It was all time high and record beat
Hundreds have lost lives so far
It is nature’s undeclared war

All seasons are now becoming severe
They play with human lives here
Rain, cold waves sweep across
Add to misery and cause colossal loss

The nights pose grave danger
Many may be dying out of hunger
This can be still understood
How can we think of nature being rude?

I heard big bang on window
It was as if caused by stone throw
Nights are otherwise very scary
Heavy rain and thunder adds to worry

I rushed to window and peeped outside
The sky was overcast and stretched wide
It may rain heavily as I presumed
The heat waves may die down and consumed

I listen to various noises
Many creatures come out it without any choice
They have to look towards sky with so much hope
Will have to wait and until it stops

It may shower heavily and wind may move fast
The clouds may downpour and try to fizzle out with overcast
They too need depletion to come out of heavy commitment
It is fascinating show with nice movement

As it forced me to leave window
I still preferred to stay and did not go
I had some sort of satisfaction
It was nice and pleasant indication

I loved it to stay for whole night
It was good to observe the beautiful sight
It was pleasing me from depth
But still worrying about unnatural deaths
