The Monsoon does come to Markham


Class dismissed
Day plans for the morrow 
Beckoned and working through
I noticed the light dim 
Behind trees
Of our Cdwd forest
Baarish! My heart leapt
And I came back to the moment
It's not Baarish, silly
It's not the Monsoon
This is Markham not
Mumbai
And I smiled, sighed
That I have two
Homes now
And I belong in both
With fierce unapologetic 
Undiluted, love
the grey sky shone
With blessings 
And my rain-drenched
 bifurcated self
walks home hood off, 
face held up to the sky
raindrops 
fall softly on my soul
