Mani Goswami (poem)
POEM BY MANI GOSWAMI - INDIA 
 
RAIN OF WORDS
 
I was trying to relieve my tired mind
Picking up a little feather. 
I Secretly opened the small chest 
storing the memories,
The passion of feeling shook my heart.
While drowning in the ocean 
of emotions, in fact 
I had a sweet dream. 
I am flying with my wings 
in my dreams, in the blue sky. 
The clouds seemed 
to embrace me gently. 
Slowly the sun set.
In the chest of darkness moonlight comes down with the dress of dancer.
In my subconscious mind the words come down as rain 
And I wanted to arrange the words 
They dive into the blues of the sky with their little wings.
I wanted to draw 
the sweetness of the sun.
The image of a hug.
