Memory lane


Sitting beside the window,
Waiting for the dawn
Drizzle all around
A soft breeze ……
It pushed the door to my memory lane…
Leaving me with a smile

[FLASHBACK]
Lightening and thunderstorm...[dusk]
I have left for my nest
Accompanied with mates and heavy downpour…
Ohh! What a beauty?
The wildness of rain…
Complete chaos …but I am at peace.
Moving towards my nest and finally a few paces away…
A shadow appears…. a ‘Man’….soaked in rain,
Shivering in cold with a smile on his face….He says “Are you ok? I was worried.I have been waiting for you”
[I am numb ]
He is my “Dad”
….The  clock strikes 3....[wiping my face]
The smell of earth :so fresh,so pure!
[Soft breeze unlocks another door]
It was a bad day! really it was..
Heartbreaking are few truths
Gathering,I was,few pieces of my strength
Difficult it was to walk in rain...[submissive I am to its vigour]
Few paces proved to be miles
I left attempts and broke down
Realised why they say,
‘Rain will hide your pains’
But a soul in my nest knows it all
After a voyage I came back
All broken,shattered I am…
Trying to mask my state
Lying down…
[Submitting to the cycle of conscious and unconscious]
In conscious….I feel warmth of her closeness to me
She is beside me for me
Loving,protecting me..
Without questioning me…she told me’Hey its me’
She is my “Mother”
Its dawn...[I am back]
Finding the meaning of life..
Life is love-Enjoy it!
Life is a promise-fulfill it!
Life is an oath - value every relation you hold!
And priceless are Parents-treat them as God!
