I CHOOSE TO WAIT!!

The day arrives-
The bright summer sun peeps through the window
And plants a warm kiss on my forehead.
I open my eyes,
And choose to wait…
And wait…!


The evening sets in-
The sky gets overcast with dark clouds
And a faint blue light illuminates the horizon.
I hum an old tune,
And choose to wait…
And wait…?


The night falls-
Big drops of rain come down in amazing haste
And a painful longing overwhelms my soul.
I wipe off a careless tear,
And choose to wait…
And wait!
And wait!

MUSIC IN MY SOUL!!

My soul flutters like a caged bird
Wishing to get free….
A strange madness has possessed it
And it wants to soar high….
High and high beyond the known
Transcending the limits of time and place
To touch the distant, the unknown….

The raindrops patter on the eaves
Dancing and rejoicing for no definite reason
With a strange musical rhythm,
A gust of wind threw open the windows
To whisper softly in my ears,
‘A miracle has taken place, and
Something somewhere has changed....!’

THE RE-AWAKENING!!

A cool breeze lifted my hair
And touched my face,
Caressing it with a spray of soft raindrops.
The wet sari wrapped around my body
Enfolding me in the comfort of familiar warmth...
I wished to throw away the umbrella
And lose myself in the celebration of nature…..
The rains… the long awaited rains….!!
It drenched my body, it freed my soul…
A feeling, strange and sweet, crept into the heart
And I let myself be drowned in the flood of emotions-
To emerge pure and true
In a new world… on a new day…!!
