She awaits the rain like a writer embraces metaphors, A drizzle isn't for the child who dances in the storm. Of rain that washes away the petrichor it brings, A downpour of a hail of bullets, and she calls it spring.

Sanhita Baruah
About This Quote

She awaits the rain like a writer embraces metaphors. The rain that fell from the sky is cleansing and brings a fresh start, just as a writer collects metaphors from all over the world. In this metaphor, rain is a metaphor for writing, and it stands for poetry, stories, books and literature. The rain washes away the petrichor (the polluted atmosphere we are surrounded by everyday) it brings (a new start). A downpour of a hail of bullets (suddenly or unexpectedly), and she calls it spring (it's like a small burst of sunshine after a long period of darkness).
