~ Nostalgic Memories… ~ 
☆
When skies oozed the
tears of joy and pain,
We’d run out, hands
outstretched in vain
*
Catching drops, laughing
and dancing in rain, freely,
In the scent of petrichor,
going wild, ever joyfully
*
The first rain’s ever so divine
kiss on our tender skin,
Playing a celestial symphony
of the memories within
*
As droplets fell like shining
diamonds so bright,
We would twirl, and spin,
with the pure delight
*
But now, those days are
lost forever in the time,
A deep nostalgia plays a
somber heart’s rhyme
*
The raindrop’s question,
echoes through it all
“Now, who would stretch
hands for me to fall?”
*
When rain-kissed lasting
memories were made,
As petrichor’s fragrance
incensed heart’s arcade
*
Oh, will someone return those
stolen childhood days,
When carefree laughter echoed,
and joy willfully swayed..!
