 what did context mean

I am like earthly life 

 

The poet draws a parallel between the Rain and an earthly life. The Rain nourishes the plants and trees and flowers and fields, it gives life to the flora and fauna and also it dies by showering itself over the fields. It rises from the various water bodies through evaporation which is its birth; its dies a death, the poet describes like a mortal one, by showering down its weight over the fields like shedding tears of heaven. Yet, the death of the Rain is an honourable one, as it serves the humanity and the flora and fauna while it dies. And so is the life of the Rain.

The poet calls the rain as earthly life because the fate of the rain is like that of the man on earth. When the child is born, it grows up into a young man and then an old man and then it dies in the end. Similarly the rain is born in the form of a cloud in the sky. When the cloud bursts, it dies.

The poet call rain as earthly life because it follows the cycle of life and death which means birth and end(death). The water evaporates from land, seas and other water bodies present on the earth and from clouds then again from the clouds it comes down as a rain. The water which evaporates is lifted and moved upwards. The water cycle, cycle of life is completed and then it begans again.
