It is the season to lie low and enjoy a hot beverage with fritters, get romantic under an umbrella at a picnic spot, or sing on a swing under the trees.
It is a reason to read and write poetry, as the showers from heaven wash away past seasons and renew the Earth’s soul.
The Sun makes its presence felt by a beacon of light between the dark clouds, and I know humidity will return. But why complain?
Isn’t it a miracle that life moves in cycles, yet we keep moving forward?
mercurial swings
neither summer nor winter
rains lash window panes

A rainy season witness! Wonderfully evoked, Reena!

It is a miracle that is true. I really could feel your haiku at the end, it gets like that here in that not much difference between seasons these days.
