Thunderstorm for a tree

Through my many ears I hear a sound,

The clouds seem happy - what is that they found?

At first they lit the earthen stage with lights -

Bright enough, but just lasting for a blink of an eye! 

Oh, how I wish I could just dance around!

Swinging my trunk in ways none have found.

But my roots have gotten way too deep,

A gentle sway is all I can keep!

Dawn Rain!

In the darkest hour before dawn,

A musical treat is being served by the clouds,

With raindrops hitting hard on the ground,

Buildings, trees, roads and all -

Being just a large playground!

Is it the beats of tabla so faint, yet clear?

Or mridangam or plain ol' drums, my dear?

Or is it something even more profound,

Like building and playing a xylophone, off your playground?
