A FRAGRANCE FROM THE SUMMER RAIN





When the first drop of the summer rain

touches the dry soil

there springs a fragrance

stronger than sandal wood

eucalyptus or elaichi.


It's a treat for the senses

that longs for the season's sensation

It's a earthy scent that

reaches far and wide.


The joy of feeling the rain

along with an earthy odour

is like a free trip to a fairy land


It is the smell of earth

that reconnects us with the nature

The smell of mud in the air

lifts the spirits to an extent fair


Its the grandeur of  "Geosmin" that lingers around

blessing us with 'Petrichor"

the perfect partner for a cool summer abound.
