The Light Of My Life (A poem...I can get philosophical at times.!)
Alas,even a miniscule drop of the warm rain,
Which pelts down remorselessly on this scorched and barren earth,
Lacks any warmth,emotion and compassion.
But She had it all,thouch in abundance,
Blessed by the Hand of Fate,
And fashioned by Destiny,
Which has brought to a screeching halt,
The aspirations and endeavours of many a gaping heart.
She was a sight to behold,grace personified,
Full of life,every breath of air she took,
Filled the air with fragrance and freshness.
She was the cynosure of all eyes,
Described as a gift from Heaven to the reeking earth,
To return it to the lively paradise it once had been,
To be the place of her birth and her homeland.
The sky stretched plain and wide,in an endless blue streak,
Can't match the sea of compassion in her heart,
Which can drown all the hatred and evils of the world.
The ever-swaying emotions of that good-natured heart,
Outshines the cold breeze,
Which marks the end of summer and onset of autumn
With its capacity to overwhelm the air
And the warmth of her heart can melt even the coldest of hearts.
There she is,gazing into the distance like a lost kid,
Carrying the weight of many a loving heart in her own
While whistling a tune,which makes a thousand eyes
Turn towards her,ready to dissolve in it forever
As she sets foot on the now muddy earth.
But even the mud can't stain her tender skin or her white pristine clothes.
Her black strands of hair dance in the breeze,
Spreading the fragrance of Love in the moist air.
Rain,the perpetual spoilsport,couldn't do anything,
To take away the glory of her appearance,as it gradually died away,
Making way for the benevolent Sun
To beam down his warm rays of light on the heavenly setting.
She,unspoiled by the rain,reached a lush green meadow,
Which stretched far and wide with many sheep grazing at will.
She was absolute poetry in motion,
Lending a mystic presence to the whole setting.
I watched dumbstruck,as she came along
And asked me to permit her to play with the mischievous little sheep.
I bowed to her giving her my permission,
To which she responded with a cherubic smile
And shook my hand and went away gaily.
I sat dazed,feeling the warmth of her presence all over me,
Engulfing me in a deep maelstorm of emotions,
From which I was sure I couldn't recover.
She played with the sheep,sang them songs
Which along with the harmonious air produced heavenly music
That resonated in my love-torn heart.
I gazed at her as if in a trance,
A trance from which I never wanted to recover.
I didn't know that time was slipping away,
Announcing the arrival of dusk,
Which was going to be the most heart-wrenching moment in my life,
Though I didn't know it then.
She came to me to thank me,once and for all,I should say,
And then she turned away,going home in the enveloping darkness.
At that moment,I knew it was the last
I would see of her,unless....
I ran to her and led her to her house.
As she turned to open the gates,I knew
'Twas the most important moment of my life.
Fate,the ever benevolent lady,provided me with a golden opportunity.
I asked her the question,that all important question,
The answer to which decided the answer to my Life.
I stammered,at which the dark clouds in the night sky
began to roll away making way for the pale Moon,
To shine all Her radiance upon us.
I gathered my new-found courage to continue;
When I stopped,the darkness engulfed us again.
But she shone,like a million stars,to give that answer
Which would be the crowning moment in my life.
I took her hand,squeezed it gently to suggest my feelings.
But she slipped her delicate hand from my cold grip,
Smiled at me,opened the gates,went in
And closed the gates upon me.
Then,I heard a deafening thunderbolt roar in the distant black mountains,
But none could match the one which hit my heart.
I was desrted by all,
The gracious Moon,the ever-benevolent Lady Fate
And finally by my own Love.
I was doomed,for the rest of my life.
I knew it then as I trod down the long winding path,
To the meadows,in darkness,the light having gone out of my life,
To my sheep.
