Canopy -

Rains have started in the area I live in. Turning everything that was scorched dry by the hot summers, into a beautiful green.

Canopy

Driving under the green canopy

That has sprung up lately

Fired by a few showers

A cloudy sky and some insane magic

One tries to concentrate

On the narrow road ahead

Watching through the windscreen

And a lazy wiper clearing it

It’s a hit and miss situation

With the green canopy

And the green curtains

That tremble gently

In gentle gusts of wind

One can’t stare too long

View keeps passing behind

From front

To the rear windscreen

In jiffy

I catch a glimpse

Then stare ahead at the road

Though that is enough to cool

Whatever was burning

Deep inside me

Down by a few notches

And for once I felt jealous

Of those walking

For once not happy

Driving my car
