These lines have to be understood from the context of the harsh and long Indian summer, where the temperature can reach 41 centigrade during day times. One just keeps waiting for some pre-monsoon showers to cool things down a bit

Summer Dreams

It’s a windy evening

On a hot summer day

Dead leaves are floating

Yanked from their place

As the sun goes down

Hidden in the clouds

Just a few rain drops

Fall on my face

Hoping for a downpour

I realise a bit late

Winds that brought the clouds

Are now taking them away
