Arunoday Singh Instagram – This is an ode to one of the most universal of Muses, not just for me and the good folk at @amala.earth, but for everyone that is moved by the majesty of the monsoons.
It heralds the return of hope, of life itself, of a cleansing to the mind, body and soul.

They wait
For the rain,
Buried
In my mind,
Deep beneath, the
Everyday debris.
The poems
I didn’t know
I’d been writing,
Those secretly
Assigned
To me.
They suffer
The filth, and the
Noise, all year,
Waiting, to hear
The songbirds
Change their key.
For the swaying
Of the palms to
Become dancing.
The sky to murmur
Magic spells
To the sea.
Though it isn’t
Always gentle,
Or punctual.
Though it isn’t
Always enough
Or kind.
When it arrives
It humbles this
Incessant circus.
Sweeps me free
Of the Great
Pantomime.
The Monsoon
Washes over the
Human wreckage.
Wiping this
Tired world
Clean.
Freed from the
Dust of what
We’ve become,
It leaves me
Closer to who
I should’ve been.
Every drop
Raining down,
Is a word
Every poem, a seed
Planted by the
Gardener’s thumb.
Every year
More of me is
Fertile ground.
Just waiting
For the rain
To come.
