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.

She was my angel, “ the RAINS “ !!!
