The rising of the dawn with a windy mist,sky thundered last night and left a glimpse of unseen rainbow,filled the surrounding with musk,the chirping of birds welcoming pale day light,the pouring of raindrops one after another,not a gush of water but breathable drips,the thunder in sky again but not of clouds,the shrieking boom of war
