Bliss

The sweeping arc of the rain gods swept the lanes of  big bustling city,
Rocking its trees, with winds picking up their battle gear,

battling ferociously upon d big coconut trees...
By the side of a road near a small tea shop,

I stopped drenched beyond imagination, 

with each gust of wind spraying my face with glee...

                    My hands held on to a steaming hot chai like a child and its toy!!
                                The powerful rays of heat permeated through my body..
                                        While i shivered, my throat leapt with ecstacy !!
                          Like an eclipse, the faint hint of bliss seemed to evaporate , kissing my soul with warmth...

By d side of a road, dimly lit ...
Pouring rain...
With just a pot of tea in hand.

life stood still...
Away from the common din of humanity ,

I snatched a few moments of peace..!!
