THE RAINS
I was walking on a dusty road on a burning day,
Tired, sad and all alone under the empty sky,
Thinking about my life and how it has gone !
Wat did i do that there was no one to say “Come on!”
I looked down the road,
Pebbles, dried leaves and dust was there.
And i couldn”t help but relate it to my life,
Thinking about my past as I walked foot bare!
Ten miles back was the city I left .
The city where the joy was rampant
And happiness was the colour of life.
I saw men merry making with their wives.
All happy families and even dogs with bones.
Still i felt alone!
None could yield me happiness
And I as gone!!
I walked thinking there was no one for me .
No one to release me from the hated bondage I am in
and set me free!
I had walked a couple of steps more when I saw a figure,
Unearthly as it seemed, an image of a person in glee!
She was a lass, a damsel not older than me!
Her face was perfect resembling that of Gods!
And trust me! I couldn”t find any flaws in her or say any odds!
Wearing a red valvet gown , there she was
I kept looking at her and let the time pass!
Did my senses beguile me or was it not a dream,
For there she was , in front of me , all in a white beam.
She came closer to me and held my hand!
The touch was feathery, soft, smooth and delicate!
I looked into her eyes; blue as deep sea they were,
I focused on her radiant face, beaming with joys unknown.
She spoke, “ eternity for you did I wait,
Suffered all hardships for you all alone,
But now finally I might be at peace! “
“ Who are you ?”,I asked ,“and what are you doing here?”
She smiled and replied ,“I am the pain you suffered my dear . I have come to release you from your bondage,
& joy I unleash onto you! Gone are your bad days.”
I gazed into her eyes, knowing not what to say,
She looked up at the skies high,
And waved me good bye !
Then she was gone in a flash, vanished in an eye blink!
It happened so quick that my mind ceased to think .
My eyes rose up . The sky had darkened.
The burning sphere was nowhere to be seen,
I felt the heat and tension within sink!!
A lightening struck and tore apart a tree.
I looked at that and my mind was free!
NO ONE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IN LIFE!
SO EACH DAY FOR HAPPINESS WE SHOULD STRIVE!
There was a gist of cool breeze,
I closed my eyes and let my legs freeze!
The bliss of cool wind was pacifying me,
When all of a sudden it began to downpour .
Draining me of all my pessimism, sorrows & eternal pains!
And as if then out of nowhere ,
it struck me who she was.
